Melodies of the Past: A Journey Through the History of Hand-Cranked Street Organs

From their humble origins to their cultural significance, discover how these charming instruments have left an indelible mark on society.  Join us for an immersive journey filled with music, nostalgia, games of Name That Tune, and insights into the evolution of a beloved tradition.

Great American Street Organ is owned and operated by Anthony Gangi, an adjunct college professor and author of Carny Sideshows: Weird Wonders of the Midway. Anthony, his mechanical monkey Giuseppe, and his hand-crafted street organ were featured on WCVB's Chronicle.
