Peter Richard Conte was appointed Wanamaker Grand Court Organist in 1989 and is
the fourth person to hold that title since the organ first played in 1911. He is also Principal Organist of Longwood Gardens and Choirmaster and Organist at Saint Clement’s Church, Philadelphia, where he directs an 18-voice, all-professional choir. Conte has been featured several times on MPR’s Pipedreams and ABC television’s Good Morning America and World News Tonight. For thirteen seasons, he hosted the monthly Wanamaker Organ Hour on WRTI Radio with co-host Jill Pasternak. He is the 2008 recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Indiana University School of Music, Bloomington. In June 2011, he was inducted into the Philadelphia Music Alliance’s Walk of Fame with a bronze plaque on Broad Street’s ‘Avenue of the Arts.’ He has numerous solo organ, orchestral ensemble and choral recordings to his credit, including many on the Wanamaker Organ.

Andrew Ennis is a professional trumpeter/flugelhornist and music educator in the South Jersey/Philadelphia area. He is the Department Chair and Instrumental Music Director for the Arts at Bishop Eustace Preparatory School in Pennsauken, New Jersey, and is the organist for the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Camden, New Jersey. One of Mr. Ennis’ greatest pleasures and passions has been making music with Peter Conte and the Wanamaker Organ since 2013. The Wanamaker Organ changed his life, and he is beyond honored to be asked to participate in this program.
