That's the great organ at St. John the Divine in New York City, being played about a decade ago. It's a 1910 Aeolian Skinner Opus 150A with more than 8,000 pipes. It was damaged when a fire in the basement filled those pipes with smoke the day before the more destructive Notre Dame fire in April 2019. Father Patrick Malloy is the Dean of St. John the Divine.
