Venue updates
for the 2012 OHS National Convention in Metropolitan Chicago. |
Due to the large registration for the convention (a happy problem!) and to ensure the comfort of our guests, we will split the convention into two groups for the recital on the Valparaiso Hook and the performances on the collection of rare organs at the Unitarian Church in Hyde Park, both on Monday, July 9. Also, because of circumstances beyond our control, we have moved David Schrader’s Thursday evening recital from Orchestra Hall to the 92-rank, 1958 Aeolian Skinner at St. Pauls UCC. We have also moved the Queen of All Saints Basilica concert on Friday to the Berghaus organ in the magnificent acoustics of Grace Lutheran Church, River Forest. |
