Organist Jerry Nagano will play the keyboards of the Wonder Morton theatre pipe organ - with all the bells and whistles - live!
Jerry Nagano began his musical training at age ten in Los Angeles. From the very beginning, the movies played a major role in his musical life. It was because of attending a silent movie show, accompanied by the Mighty Wurlitzer, that Jerry took an interest in the organ.
After some instruction on electronic keyboards, he had a chance to study with organist Gaylord Carter, the very person who had played for that silent film years before. Through the years, Jerry has been the organist at:
- the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, playing their fabulous Moller Pipe organ;
- the Stanford Theater in Palo Alto, where classic Hollywood is screened nightly with intermissions performed on the Mighty Wurlitzer;
- the famed Ye Olde Pizza Joynt in the Bay Area, home of the "Wurlitzer in a Pizza Parlor" concept.
In addition to a busy musical life, during the day Jerry is a Computer Systems Engineer for Stanford University.
Presented by the Santa Barbara Theatre Organ Society, 11am Saturday, May 10th at the Arlington Theatre, 1317 State Street in SB. Adult ticket price is $11. Children and students (with ID) are free!
