Christmas Eve in Cebu
As you notice, it has been a while again. I've been doing things - projects. Landscape history study guide, genealogy, reading, living!
The news is that I will be playing a Christmas Eve program at the Sto Nino Basilica in Cebu. It is a beautiful, historic church, visited by tourists and people every day. They have a newly restored German organ (a year ago), two manuals, and I am looking forward to working my feet again on a real pedal board, not just on a few tabs like on the old Spanish organs here in Bohol. So if you are in the area, please come!
I also spent a couple hours on the tracker organ at the Cathedral in Cebu, built by Diego Cera Organguilders in Las Pinas about 10 or 15 years ago. What a wonderful experience! I hope to do a program there sometime, too!
I can't tell you the time of the program yet, and it may include a little choral work from a local group, but it is before the big Christmas Eve service! So I'm excited about that!
I hope you have had a good 2011. Rod
