An Evening of Hymns and Friends

Our Hymn Festival of Global Hymns and Songs held on Sept 16th was a wonderful way to begin a very exciting year of programming for the North Shore Chapter.

Royce Eckhardt prepared a varied program of hymns and songs from around the globe and left us wishing the program was longer. Having spent my early years  in Africa,  I was especially interested too find a selection of well written global and ethnically diverse music that is appropriate to use in our services.

Seeing so many of you stay to visit during the reception was a big indication that we desire to build community as colleagues and lovers of organ music. This is so important in order to keep our chapter thriving –  so if you aren’t a member, please consider joining our membership.

You won’t want to miss the opportunity to hear Olivier Latry at Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago on Tuesday, Oct. 16, 7:30 pm . Hopefully your schedule is free and you can be there!.

Warmly,

Judy Kohl, Dean
