“Welcome to TourBus 2 where we visit the great organ in Methuen, Massachusetts. Wow, we certainly had a

great time with this famous instrument – so much

fascinating history and, what an organ case! In this DVD,

join me as we walk inside the great organ and see the

mammoth workings of this huge instrument. Then I sit and

chat with Edward J. Sampson (President of the Board of

Trustees of the Methuen Memorial Music Hall) as he

unveils the history of this amazing instrument. This organ

originally traveled in the 1850s by sea from Germany to the

USA and was installed in the Boston Music Hall. It was the

first concert hall organ in the USA. Then, learn what

happens next to this precious treasure. Plus see me

perform a concert on this instrument. This organ has a

fairytale story – enjoy!” Carol Williams
