CBC's science guru, topped off with Canada's Jenny Vincent ( www.jennyvincent.ca, www.organworx.ca) providing the music on the majestic organ. Punched with outstanding visuals on large screens, this show is not to be missed. The first performance sold out in Vancouver Island's Oceanside area in October 2017 and received ecstatic praise from concert-goers. Bob McDonald, host of Quirks & Quarks, brings science to over 500,000 devoted CBC listeners weekly. He also is CBC's science correspondent for The National and hosts Heads Up, a series for children. McDonald's most recent book is Canadian Space Walkers: Hadfield, MacLean and Williams Remember the Ultimate High Adventure. Jenny Vincent has played an eclectic mix of instruments over her career, ranging from the iconic Hammond B-3 jazz organ to Casavant Freres - 3000+ pipe organ. She has performed as a soloist throughout Canada and the United States. It is Jenny's passion to show off the organ as a versatile and contemporary musical instrument in our mainstream society.
