 Festival's annual concert season.\n\nThe grounds of Boomeria are full of 
 surprises, including its own castle and catacombs. Created and maintained 
 by "The Boom" – a long-time local high school chemistry and physics 
 teacher – Boomeria is a well-kept local secret. The Boomeria organ itself 
 was a project begun in 1953. In that year Trinity Paris Church (now 
 Cathedral) in San Jose replaced its organ console (vintage 1879), which had 
 originally been donated to the church by The Boom's great grandmother. 
 Boomer rescued the console along with two sets of pipes and started a 
 project was completed with the assistance of students from San Lorenzo 
 Valley High School over a period of many years. Since then generations of 
 Boomer's students have helped with the building of this massive instrument 
 and its intricate mechanisms, along with assistance from organ builders 
 Bill Reid, John West, and Bill Visscher. The Boomeria organ now features 40 
 ranks, 2500 pipes, baroque voicing, and mechanical action.\n\nVisitors to 
 the Baroque Festival's annual Boomeria Organ Concert have the opportunity 
 to explore the grounds and crawl(*) into the organ itself, while enjoying 
 live music and refreshments. \n\nAdmission: $50 (includes music, food,
