To this end, the orchestra has been performing several<br \/>of his pieces over the past few months, most recently a breathtaking<br \/>performance of &#8220;From Darkness To Light&#8221;, which was broadcast by German radio WDR3 on May 15.<\/p>\n<p>About that performance, Jon later wrote to Hagen&#8217;s conductor Florian Ludwig: &#8220;It was a truly wonderful and emotional experience sitting in my house<br \/>in England and listening to the glorious sounds you were making in Hagen \u2014 wanting to be there and yet in a way happy that you could not see me<br \/>with the tears in my eyes. The piece means a very great deal to me, and<br \/>you played it as if you had looked into my heart and soul and found what I was thinking and feeling as I wrote it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the concert on July 6, and subject to the continued progress of his recovery from cancer, Jon will play Hammond organ on his Durham Concerto and piano on a further selection of his solo pieces mixed with works by other composers connected to Jon and his music.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Rocknrolla<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to JonLord.org, former DEEP PURPLE keyboardist Jon Lord will make his first live appearance&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1706","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1706","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1706"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1706\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
