Paul Jacobs and one of the Norbertine Fathers were interviewed in the pre-concert lecture.
One fun fact we got from Paul, is that there is are pipe organs with a bird whistle attached to it!
He also said the pipe organ here has a darker character.
People with various musical backgrounds join the Abbey.
It takes a couple years to learn all the chants.
You may be asked not to chant in the beginning, if you can't do it in unison.
So if there's a newbie chanting, he may by lip-syncing. :)
This concert will be broadcast on KUSC on February 15, 2015.
I'm not sure if the prelude is also going to be aired.
