Description

DoP 2008, NZ
Jenny Setchell peeks behind the facades of some of the most famous concert venues and churches around the world to reveal what the life of an organist is really like. Over 120 men and women - from concert artists to Sunday church organists - relate the trials and triumphs of playing what can be the most difficult instrument in the world. Their amazing tales prove that there is nothing 'organised' or standard about the lives they have to lead.
