Cosmic Odyssey: adventures in space through universes beyond our own, with informative and entertaining narratives from Bob McDonald, ( http://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks ) 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.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.
