Organist Peter Richard Conte Benefit Concert for St. Peter's Church

On May 3, 2024 at 7:00pm, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church will welcome world-renowned concert organist Mr. Peter Richard Conte in a benefit concert for the St. Peter’s Music Program.

Mr. Conte is the Grand Court Organist on the world’s largest playing pipe organ in Macy’s department store, Philadelphia. He is also organist to the Philadelphia Orchestra, Organist at Longwood Gardens and at St. Clemen’ts Church, Philadlephia.

Mr. Conte will play a short program of light classics including Gilbert and Sullivan, followed by live accompaniment of Charlie Chaplin’s classic silent film “THE KID” (1921).

This is a great opportunity to see a silent film accompanied the way it was done in 1921, and a chance for those who have never seen a silent film to get a glimpse into cinematic history.

Host or Publisher The Rev. David Michaud
