Published 27th May 2012

Blabbermouth reports that the former Deep Purple keyboardist is scheduled to appear in Hagen on 6 July.

The concert is rounding off Jon's stretch as this year's "composer in residence" with the Hagen Philharmonic Orchestra near Dortmund. To this end, the orchestra has been performing several of his pieces over the past few months, most recently a performance of "From Darkness To Light", which was broadcast by German radio WDR3 on 15 May.

Jon has been battling cancer over the past year or so, and it's good to see him on the road to recovery.
