Ep 5 - The King of Instruments

Mozart once said "in my eyes and ears, the organ will forever be
the King of Instruments." Why, you may ask? Join us to find out!
We pull out all the stops to explore this unique instrument -
from its history to talking shop with organ builders, players,
and maintainers. As a bonus, you’ll also get an audio tour of the
instrument's power and capabilities. If you don't already love
the organ, you will by the end of this episode!


Featuring the voices of Organist Jeremy Spurgeon, Davis Concert
Organ Curator Jerrold Eilander, Musicologist D.T Baker, and Vice
President and Artistic Director of Orgues Létourneau Andrew
Forrest.
