WELCOME TO ORGANIX 07
From May 5 to June 1, meet the pipe organ, the "King of Instruments". Our program includes solo recitals, organ & trumpet, a theatre organ concert at Casa Loma, Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals arranged for piano & organ, and a Show and Tell where you will explore inside a large pipe organ, even play it if you like. Our final concert showcases two distinctive musical cultures, the anglophone choral tradition and francophone organ music. And don’t forget our informal Wednesday series of 30 minute concerts starting at 6:00 p.m for only $5.00.
