It may be the only concert I've ever played where I biked to get there.
Dongsok and I played a 2-organ piece by using the two organ manuals, I on the lower Hoofdwerk, he on the upper Rugpositief; I played the Fuga Josquin and Belli Franciae (intabulation of Janequin's La Guerrre) from my program for Switzerland;my friend Reina and my niece sang two duets (including the infamous Cat Duet as the finale); and Reina sang a lovely solo. Yes, it is possible to play "The Gift of Love" and Copland's "Simple Gifts" on a meantone, short-octave organ...and last but not least, Dongsok and I bravely tackled Mozart's 4-hand variations on a 21st-century electric piano - lovely though the audience thought it was, no need to say more about that...
Here's a few videos:
