Client Testimonials

"The event's audience, a wide mix of ages, at our library, was captivated by Tony Gangi's History of the Street Organ as he played and told stories. Tony accompanying the audience singing "Sweet Caroline" was a spectacular finish to the evening!"

"Melodies of the Past: A Journey Through the History of the Hand-Cranked Street Organ was a fabulous and fun program for our public library patrons! The presentation was high energy, informative, and interactive - which our patrons loved. We would highly recommend this program to other public libraries looking for an event that melds together history, entertainment, comedy, and appeal for all ages."

"We had Tony Gangi come to the Peabody Institute Library of Danvers for one of our Adult Programming events to present the history of the street orga. The patrons had a wonderful time listening to the melodies of the past and learning the history of this unique instrument. Tony got the audience engaged with his presentation with games of "Name that Tune" which the patrons enjoyed trying to guess the melodies that were being played! I highly recommend Tony's presentation for any programming events, he was amazing and it was a wonderful and fun program!"

"If you're looking for a presentation that is historical, educational, musical, and interactive, an hour with Tony Gangi and his Great American Street Organ performance hits all the right notes. Tony and his sidekick Giuseppe the Monkey were entertaining and informative. The highlight was Name that Tune and getting our seniors up on stage to try the organs. They left with official certificates and smiles. We look forward to having him back."
