Listen to Nantucket Organs

Produced and edited in the NMC Recording Studio. Host Dr. Greta Feeney of the Nantucket Community Music Center interviews founder Susie Jarrell...

Elizabeth let me play the Red Violin after her performance! The sound was warm and it played with ease. I tried to focus on the instrument but I got completely discombobulated when I realized she had walked away leaving me with the violin. So I just kept playing! Where else in the world could that have happened? Thanks NMC.

Joanna Haye / Coq au Vin violinist and NMC artist member
