Kengo Ito, a super talented young marimba artist

Carol Williams composed an organ piece for her dog Dietrich, called Dietrich Dilemma, the dog came on stage with his tuxedo, to listen to his piece!

surely my favorite part was the combination of organ music and the wonderful House of Scotland Bagpipe Band!
