Organ Recital

Last night we attended an organ recital at the Hallgímskirkju which is the State Cathedral of Iceland. The recital was for two students of the Listaháskóli Íslands (Iceland Academy of Arts). One of the students Eyþór Franzson Wechner has become friends with several of the YSA in the branch. So the activity for the YSA Family Home Evening was first the recital followed by a lesson and then refreshments. This young man is 18 and it was a treat for all who attended to hear his recital and then to enjoy his company at FHE.

Must have been enjoyable. The clip sounded good.

I never had a chance to hear the organ in Hallgrimskirkja before. When I was a missionary in 1985, the outside of the church was finished, but not the inside, so no organ playing. It was nice to hear the organ played there!
