DAVE WICKERHAM - A Treasured Wurlitzer Christmas

Be entertained and filled with spirit as Dave Wickerham returns with his Treasured Wurlitzer Christmas Celebration, Sunday, December 14 at 2 PM – on the newly restored McKissick Mighty Wurlitzer in Lincoln Hall – performing contemporary Christmas tunes and sacred classics, as well as an audience carol sing-along in his ever-popular and sold out holiday concert.

Give this concert as a musical gift to your family – and bring the young ones too! – to prepare your hearts for the true meaning of Christmas in the hands of this genius-brilliant organist – and a man of faith. Be sure to reserve early – this concert always sells out!

Master of the console, Dave Wickerham was honored with the “Organist of the Year” award by the American Theatre Organ Society in 2011 and has toured the world to rave reviews performing his unique arrangements and peerless improvisations. Brought back annually by popular demand, Dave is a favorite of ARCA audiences – old and young alike.

Dave’s programs have something for everyone – from Great American Song Book standards, Disney and popular pieces, to waltzes, rags, marches, orchestral pieces, classical works, hymns and patriotic medleys. His arrangements are always fresh, employing his improvisatorial ingenuity to create delightful surprises, sometimes with multiple combinations of genres in a single arrangement.

Dave Wickerham’s voicings are rich, fully utilizing the multitudinous ranks of the instrument and demonstrating the full range of instrumentation and the magnificent glory of the theatre organ – as he turns the Wurlitzer into a cathedral pipe organ, jazz ensemble, rag time band, bagpipes, and steam locomotive. And Dave always gives the piano and percussion shelf a complete work-out! No one can touch his outrageously genius improvisations based on audience requests given at concert intermissions – they are tour de force.

Rediscover your child-like wonder and delight as this consummate keyboard artist performs Christmas carols, anthems, joyous holiday songs and a sing along on the newly restored McKissick Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ.

Let the Beloved Songs of Christmas open your heart – performed by one of the kindest, gentlest and most generous souls… evidenced by the glow you feel having experienced his inspired performance.
