Former DEEP PURPLE Keyboardist To Perform With Hagen Philharmonic Orchestra

August 7, 2007

Former DEEP PURPLE keyboardist Jon Lord will make a one-off appearance in Hagen, Germany on February 15, 2008. He will perform at the Hagen Stadthalle with a band called DCRS and the Hagen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Steffen Müller-Gabriel. This concert will take place as a part of a year-long series of "crossover" performances celebrating 100th anniversary of the Hagen Philharmonic, founded in 1907.

A short video interview with Jon Lord conducted prior to his appearance at the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway on July 1 has been posted at NRK Nett-TV. The clip also includes footage from the show.

Jon Lord first performed at Trondheim's Nidaros cathedral in 2003. This year he performed his own composition "From Darkness to Light" and was joined onstage by the Trondheim Soloists and two choirs.

The event was part of the Hell Music Festival and featured Jon playing the organ and piano.
