Event Details

Join us for a pipe organ performance by Dr. Jay Fluellen, exploring the sacred music of Duke Ellington with interludes inspired by the music history of Glen Foerd. Florence Foerderer Tonner, the last private owner of Glen Foerd (1915 – 1971), left behind material collections that include sheet music in a variety of genres, record albums by Duke Ellington, and paper rolls to automatically play Jazz-Age dance modes like the foxtrot on the pipe organ.

Listen to our restored 1902 Haskell Pipe Organ while strolling through the historic gilded-age mansion, or find a seat in the first-floor drawing room and second-floor art gallery. Enjoy a drink from our cash bar, and purchase a tarot reading from Zeta Tarot. This concert is part of a city-wide performance series in April – Philly Celebrates Jazz.

The performance will begin at 7:00 pm.
