IRM Steam Team Benefit at Sanfilippo Estate on Saturday, June 25, 2011

Doors to the Sanfilippo Estate open at 5:00 p.m.. Once inside, you are free to roam through the Estate to see and hear the marvelous collection of mechanical musical instruments. Docents will be in the various rooms of the Estate to play the musical instruments for your enjoyment. Throughout the evening there will also be engineers available on the lower level of the theatre room to demonstrate the various steam engines (using compressed air). At 6:45 p.m. the docents will start to gather everyone into the theatre room for the remaining events of the evening.

The featured organist will be Dave Calendine. Dave currently holds the position of Staff Organist for Detroit’s fabulous Fox Theatre, holding that position for 20 years now. He has also played nine years for the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular, featuring the world-famous Rockettes. Dave is also one of several organists regularly invited to play for special events at the Sanfilippo Estate.
