Donald MacKenzie returned to SMSG today to play our first 2022 lunchtime organ recital. What a treat this was!
The programme made us laugh and made us cry; it was fun, but also poignant and as Donald said himself, music transcends the barriers of language, grief, and all manner of troubles. It was simply uplifting. Thank you!
