Radio interview tomorrow

This morning I sent a press-release about our upcoming concert this Saturday at my church where members of our Vilnius University Unda Maris organ studio will play the pieces that they learned over the year. This is the 8th season of our studio and the members are people of other professions than musicians - medics, physics, math, linguistics, geography, biochemistry etc. All have one thing in common though - they love pipe organ.

So a short while after I sent this press release I went to the rehearsal at the church with the professor of alergology and afterwards decided to visit my friend @pauliakaz at his church.

In his parking lot I have received a phone call. This was a guy from Lithuanian Radio Classical channel who wanted to invite me to his show to talk for an hour about Saturday's event. He was intrigued with the idea that organ can be played by non-musicians. The nice thing about my press release was several quotations from my students about why they love pipe organs and what would they like to learn to play next year.

At first I declined because I had other responsibilities tomorrow but then decided to go ahead and make place for this interview because it was just too important to miss.

The guy also wanted me to bring some of the students too so I gave him several phone numbers to call. It appears three students and one professor agreed to come to the show.

In the past I have appeared quite a few times on the radio talking about the pipe organs and its music. But this phone call was a real surprise to me because you never know when the National radio or TV would pick up your press release.

I sprend an hour or more in the afternoon choosing the musical examples for tomorrow's show. These were played by our students and I hope they will be a good fit for the program.

I intend to share with you my radio experience tomorrow. Stay tuned...
