Dutch Jazz...and a Didgeridoo Guest Appearance!

While at HIFA, I saw Holland's Mike del Ferro perform on the piano!

Does this guy look familiar? He should! Blessing was one of the best parts of HIFA 2012...

He always seemed to be having so much fun performing at HIFA.

The trio was wonderful, playing a range of jazz. It was beautiful.

Here they are playing a Duke Ellington piece:

In a surprise, Chris Williams joined the trio!

Here's what they sounded like:

A parting shot of the lovely Blessing!

HIFA 2013: A Dutch Reformed Church and a Dutch Piano Duo

In all the HIFA excitement, we took a break and visited Harare's Dutch Reformed Church

to listen to the Dutch piano duo of Lestari Scholtes and Gwylim Janssens perform.

And holy moly!  Were they impressive.

The church was a stunning setting for the concert

and I knew the 2013 Harare International Festival of the Arts was off to a great start.

Seriously, how big is this organ?  Stunning.

I wasn't able to capture them in their wonderfulness, but here, take a look at someone else's video and be stunned:
