OC CATHOLIC RADIO: MEDIA DAY AT OUR LADY OF LA VANG SHRINE

Welcome to another episode of Orange County Catholic Radio, featuring host Rick Howick.

On this episode, we’re going to leave our broadcast facility in the Tower of Hope and take our mobile studio outdoors. Our host Rick Howick and studio engineer Jim Governale recently joined in the outdoor festivities at Christ Cathedral for media day – which took place a couple of days before the ‘solemn blessing’ of the Our Lady of La Vang shrine. You are sure to gain great insights from this lively series of interviews with Bishops, priests, and lay leaders!

SOUNDS FROM THE SANCTUARY: GUEST IS LOCAL ORGANIST NORBERTO GUINALDO

Episode No. 16: Local Organist Norberto Guinaldo

Argentinian-born Norberto Guinaldo is one of the most recognized composers, organists, and church musicians in the world and has resided here in Orange County for over 50 years. Listen to some of his amazing compositions, one even dedicated to our host David Ball, and hear all about the journeys around the world of this incredible musician – from his origins in Buenos Aires, his studies in Paris, and his long career as a church musician in Southern California. Norberto’s works for organ are a beautiful mix of styles influenced by this man’s incredible life experiences – the folk tunes of South America, the Gregorian Chant of the Catholic Church, and the bravado of the French Improvisation Tradition.
