I am suffering from Pompe Disease. Until the year 2002 this was not really a problem for me. After that year things were going worse and in a rapid way. In 2006 I got therapy with Myozyme for the first time. My improvement was tremendously. I can play Concerts again, work in my job as a director, play with my Son, have fun. Now all patiënts in the Netherlands get the therapy. Thanks to many, to publicity and to the Parliament. I have a second Life. It is a miracle.

Booklet: In spite of my rapid deterioration from the Pompe Disease most of the time my fingers and muscles still enable me to play the piano. An Orphan Drug has been developed to stop the further deterioration of the illness, however until now, for me this drug is still out of reach. How it will unfold for me as a Pianist is anyone'sguess but I hope that this music will reverberate in places where people will and can hear it for a long time to come. This is my personal way to face and accept the present situation Johan dec. 2005 --------------------------- Kathy Parsons (www.mainlypiano.com) Concert for Civilization '.. is a very stirring muscial work of Art that combines classical, new age, and ambient stylings in a deeply personal way..'. 2006 ----------------------------

The music is used as soundtrack in the Odelion Film 'Living with pompe disease', used in the Spanish Movie Espejos en la niebla, directed by Basilio Martin Patino and used for the U.S. Embassy Opening in Berlin on the 4th of July 2008.
My music is also played in a presentation for the Federal Drug Administration in the U.S. This is a wonderful way to do something 'in reverse', because my Myozyme is produced in Boston (U.S.) these years! ---------------- More Piano Music (22 video's and 2 hours of music) on my website:
