Online Classical Radio Station - Live365 Internet Radio - Organlive - Organ Music
In case you missed the concert of Robert Kwan and Kevin Armstrong,tonight at the United Church in Nelson, you can tune in to this radio station to listen to some live organ music ( not by Robert Kwan necessarily) but it will give you an idea of the beauty of the music. Robert Kwan and Kevin Armstrong both grew up in Nelson and became accomplished musicians at an early age. Tonight they returned to give back to the community... a beutiful concert with songs from Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera and The Barber of Seville , as well as many other solo organ pieces by Bach and Mendelson...
Thank-you Joyce for my nice Birthday tickets to go see this concert with my daughter, Sonia (and Joyce, of course. !)
We all enjoyed a nice little nosh at JAckson's Hole before hand.
