Maestro's Blog: Halloween Candy Encore. There are 3 pictures: George Marriner Maull and his older brother, Frederick Howard Maull, on a June Sunday morning in 1960. They’re standing in the churchyard of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church (also pictured separately) at 3rd and Pine Streets in Philadelphia, which opened its doors for services in 1761. Last photo was taken at the school’s 1956 Annual Halloween Party. On the far left in that picture, we have someone in a voodoo mask of sorts, playing a very small drum. Next to him is “Mr. Clean” in his traditional arms-folded pose. The third choirboy has covered his entire countenance with a wig. And finally, on the far right, we have a stereotypical pipe-smoking “hip” guy of the 1950’s.

I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful afternoon. We LOVED the concert/presentation. It was exceptional and meaningful for both of us. I especially loved the piano. I had no idea it was piano that I heard when listening to the piece. I always thought it was a harp for some reason. It reminded me of water…..I cried just a little hearing that beautiful music. Thank you for giving us some culture and life after Covid!
