Now\, by no means are they the first people to champion Scottish classical music\, there are many performers\, academics\, and teachers who have been working to promote this music for years. \nAnd yet\, much of it still goes un-talked about\, un-performed\, under-appreciated.  URL:https://www.friendsofstjohnskirkperth.org.uk/event/ischico-veizel-piano/ LOCATION:St John’s Kirk\, St John's Place\, Perth\, PH1 5SZ CATEGORIES:Organ Recital ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.friendsofstjohnskirkperth.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot-2024-11-22-at-16.33.59.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20241102T130000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20241102T140000 DTSTAMP:20260513T212136 CREATED:20240929T212824Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241022T200641Z UID:205-1730552400-1730556000@www.friendsofstjohnskirkperth.org.uk SUMMARY:Colin Andrews (organ) DESCRIPTION:Since his debut at age eighteen\, Colin Andrews has been recognized as a musician of great versatility\, power and artistry.
