A gift of music

On Sunday June 23 my brother Frans was celebrating his 50th birthday and the fact that he has been playing the organ / piano for 45 years. He decided he was going to give us the gift of music. 
We had to travel to the city of Harderwijk by light rail and train.
The concert was held in the Catharina Chapel, a beautiful old chapel build in the 1500s that was part of a convent and is now a venue for cultural events.
The music was wonderful. Frans played pieces of Mozart, Bach, Handel, Rachmaninoff and Chopin; he accompanied a soprano, Petra Fischer who sang songs of Schuman. There are not enough words to describe how great it was to listen to these beautiful music pieces. This gift of music was highly appreciated by the audience. I am so proud of my "little" brother.
