MUSIC AT THE RENAISSANCE THEATER—
Anytime you mix four talented people, something terrific is bound to occur.
Such was the case with Bob White, Maggie Falcone, Todd Kramer and Pat Colombo at Mansfield’s Renaissance Theater recently.
Bob, 76, from Navarre, OH was the featured performer for the theater’s final organ concert of the season. Maggie, an 83 year young dynamo from Willoughby, OH joined Bob with her own organ segment then played the grand piano while Bob was on the organ for the finale of the one hour and 45 minute rousing, musical performance.
The tunes were the standards like Danny Boy, Amazing Grace, My Romance, Chicago; My Kind of Town and Sweet Georgia Brown.
With Bob at the helm, the restored 1920s grand baroque theater and its Kearns Wurlitzer organ came alive. I watched closely and the instrument seemed to smile as Bob massaged music from its very spirit and the technical folks teased audience ears with rich, melodic comfort.
Pat was in the booth as sound engineer for the show with her partner Todd, the theater’s technical director.
The theater was awash in delightful entertainment that day, and, four very talented people made it happen.
