Valentine’s Day is having a longer stay at the Sanfilippo Estate in Barrington Hills. A “Valentine’s Day Virtual Concert,” featuring acclaimed organists Zach Frame and Nicholas Renkosik, with special guests Midwest Dance Collective — Dancewerks, is available through March 31.
Frame’s numbers include, “Cheek to Cheek,” “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” “Besame Mucho,” “That’s All,” and “My Funny Valentine.”
“We wanted it to be love songs and Valentine’s Day-related music,” Frame explained.
He has performed several virtual concerts on the Sanfilippo organ this past year. Frame described the organ as “truly one of the largest and best in the world. The possibilities with the instrument are truly endless. There are very few that even get close to the quality of that instrument anywhere in the world.”
Frame performs five nights each week at Organ Piper Pizza in a Milwaukee suburb.
Renkosik’s selections include “I’m in Love with a Wonderful Guy” from South Pacific, and George Gershwin’s, “Our Love is Here to Stay.” He is joined by dancers from the Midwest Dance Collective for “Ten Cents a Dance.”
