“There is something so special about the Spreckels Organ – and to experience it with a rock band is truly next level!” said Raúl Prieto Ramirez,San Diego Civic Organist and Artistic Director for the Spreckels Organ Society. “We are so excited to close out the festival with a true explosion of music with colors projected on the pavilion to match.”

The 7-member Spreckels Organ Pavilion Rock Band is comprised of Ben Zinn, guitar; Chloe Lou, vocals; Harley Magsino, bass guitar; Lauren Leigh, vocals and guitar; Richard “T-Bone” Larson, drums; Raul Prieto Ramirez, organ; and William Flemming, vocals.

In addition to the special summer performances, the Spreckels Organ Pavilion also hosts weekly concerts every Sunday at 2 p.m. Through the generosity of the City of San Diego, the weekly Spreckels Organ Society concerts at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion are presented at no charge in accordance with the 1915 Deed of Gift whereby the brothers John and Adolph Spreckels gave the organ and pavilion to the City of San Diego. Donations are always accepted.

Set in the beautiful backdrop of Balboa Park’s open-air venue at 2125 Pan American Road, performances bring a one-of-a-kind experience for guests. The elevated music venue brings world-class musical artists for San Diegans and visitors to enjoy, for free, on the largest outdoor musical instrument in the world!
