The organ and the piano sometimes vie for the title of «king of instruments»
The first is a finger-powered orchestra that has been around since ancient times, while the second has won over all the great composers from Bach to the present day. But is such a battle really necessary, when both reign in the hearts of so many? Keyboard prodigy Kit Armstrong knows this better than anyone, and is equally at home with both instruments. So much so that he has concocted a special programme in which organ and piano will share the stage!
