Winter Special 2021
17 Dec 2021
Pop Christmas songs? On the organ? I think it worked great, but don't tell Mariah Carey! As an absolute layman, I was pleasantly surprised by how many different sounds the organ can make! And Matthew's jazzy Jingle Bells and the Mirroir piece really broke my prejudice about the instrument only being fit to play baroque or religious music. Enjoy your holiday, everyone!
