[John Kerkhoven]

Very nice Mark. Bravo!

John

I just wanted to let you know that my album "Unconventional", original
> music for harmonica and strings, is out now and available on all major
> streaming platforms! 🎧✨
> The album features a new five-movement tango composed in 2023 by my
> longtime friend, the talented pianist Robert Schmidt, who studied tango in
> Buenos Aires and has been internationally renowned since 1994. The work was
> exclusively written for harmonica, strings and piano.
> Additionally, the album includes a three-movement composition by Jean
> Berger (composed in 1948), whose lost Concertino for Harmonica and chamber
> orchestra  I was able to re-discover while researching another work Berger
> wrote in 1941, the Caribbean Concerto (
> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhGlgQZy2JM-) for harmonica and
> orchestra. Probably the first ever written original work for harmonica and
> orchestra.
> It also includes the five-movement piece by Gordon Jacob, written
> specifically for the renowned harmonica virtuoso Tommy Reilly.
