A stunning performance on an electric organ -or- How can one talented woman impersonate an entire orchestra?
Check out this TED talk to see what a virtuoso organist can do with latest technology.
Organ virtuoso Qi Zhang plays her electric rendering of “Ridiculous Fellows” from Prokofiev’s “The Love for Three Oranges” orchestral suite. This exhilarating performance from TEDx USC features the Yamaha Electone Stagea, a rare, imported instrument specially programmed by Qi herself.
Qi Zhang is a Master’s candidate at University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music, and an award-winning international organist.
There are many days when I come home, tired or perhaps stressed, and while my prayer life and Christian walk keep me generally rejoicing, it is frequently my sweet dogs, who never fail to greet me with wagging tails and an offer of a generous face licking, who keep my spirits high. So here is a shout out to dog lovers and to my great dogs, Bruno, Silk and Blaze.
Bruno
Silk
Blaze
They all love to play and this time of year, I most enjoy getting outside with them, tossing a ball or Frisbee and smelling the Cape Jasmine in the back yard.
Cape Jasmine smells so good!
