The colourful canvas of music is set to vibrate across Greater Victoria as the capital aims to claim the title Pipe Organ Capital of Canada for 2025.
Guided by professionals, residents can plunk the keys and pump the pedals of seven organs across the city on April 26 in a bid to defeat a record set in Ontario last year.
“International organ day is something celebrated around the world, but in Victoria we’re doing it a little differently this year. we’re doing an open house across town,” said Mark McDonald, organist at Christ Church Cathedral. “There will be an expert organist at each site to introduce people.”
