Ars Organi celebration of the church’s organs by Holtkamp, Hradetzky, and Slajch, and harpsichord by Griewisch

Introduction and note on sources

Ton Koopman has visited Vancouver, Canada many times in his
worldwide travels. There he has played numerous concerts and taught summer
courses for the Early Music Vancouver Academy, where a happy combination of
dedicated faculty and talented students come together each year to study early
music. Last summer, I joined Ton and his wife Tini Mathot for an outdoor
luncheon on the "Robsonstrasse" in downtown Vancouver. Warm sun and
good Italian wine elicited the idea of writing a tribute to Ton in the 50th
year of his birth.
