1987 Casavant at Jack Springer Concert Hall
Calgary Festival Highlights
They are fleet of foot and finger, and are the hope for our future. This week, revel in the talent of an international array of soloists, recorded during one of the world's most prestigeous contests for young players. You may already know about Bach and Widor, even Messiaen, Middleschulte and Calvin Hampton. But soon you'll know why they applauded mightily for Christian Schmitt, Hyun Jung Kim, Eva Bublova and Cameron Carpenter.
Prizes of up to $25,000 were offered. Can you pick the winners. Tune in for Part I of III in a series of Calgary Festival Highlights.
