Diane Bish

Diane Bish playing a Palm Sunday Easter concert, in her hometown, at the First United Methodist Church in Wichita, Kansas. This was the final piece of the concert, Denis Bedard's "Tocatta". This video was made using a hand-held camera, so my appologies for the shaky picture. Also, it was rather hard, with the auto-focus to actually see Miss Bish at the console, so I more often took the pictures from the large flat-screen monitors in the Sanctuary. I'm not sure who was filming the concert, but I hope they make the entire selection available soon!

Miss Bish gave a nearly 2-hour, breathtaking performance on the 4-manual Schanz organ housed within this great sanctuary. http://firstwichita.app5.net/cgi-bin/MediaList.cgi?section=musicart&ID=23...

As you may see, I was seated near the back of the sanctuary, just under the balcony. We were blessed with a beautiful day, and a packed house for her show here in Wichita, and I hope all enjoy this peice as much as we in the audience did.

thanks for the video! Although, it made me a little depressed! I was going to drive from Stillwater, OK to see the concert but couldn't find anyone to go with me and then family stuff came about. Any more videos from this concert? Thanks again!

@bradmcdan Well, I am sorry you missed the concert! Unfortunately, this is the only video I have of it. However, there were a few cameras running during the whole show (obviously, as it was on the big-screen). But, I don't know if these were the cameras the church uses, or ones Miss Bish's tv program uses. I really don't know who was filming, or if they captured anything at all! Sorry!!
