Wim Mutsaerts had been running the valuable MusicMap email
promotion for several years but suffered a stroke towards the end of 2013 from
which he is slowly recovering. In May, he handed www.musicmap.org.za over to well-known trumpeter
Stephanie Pais who was one of 12 applicants to take over the reins.
“Since then Stephanie runs MusicMap with professionalism and
maturity,” says Mutsaerts. However, he has retained his focus on organ music
although he hasn’t been able to attend an organ recital since his stroke.
“My love for organ sound is without doubt,” he explains. “I
issued MusicMap by circulating Organ Music in South Africa, by email. Stephanie
kindly reserved a special space, Wim’s
Corner, to continue sharing my love for organ music with my audience. Having
neither technical knowledge of organs nor of its music, I depend on the
Internet and my arsenal on organists, for interesting articles to publish.
“I would therefore appreciate any help in promoting the Pipe
Organ and its Sound, especially amongst the Youth, who are bereaved of its
sound and often hang onto the commonest of music instruments: the guitar,” he
adds
Should any organist be performing recitals or concerts or
have any other organ-related information, Mutsaerts would welcome this to include
in Wim’s Corner on MusicMap.
