Thank you to everyone who attended the first event of our 2024-2025 season in Kenilworth.
We installed our newly elected officers and enjoyed being together for Evensong. Thanks especially to our organist Dr. Eun Joo Ju, Rev. Dr. Bill Evertsberg, and those who sang in the choir consisting of NSAGO members and friends.
Upcoming Events
Our next event is not to be missed! We welcome concert organist Amanda Mole for a concert and masterclass and Glenview Community Church in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their Buzard Op. 21 pipe organ. Amanda’s concert is Friday, 10/18 at 7:00pm and features works by Alain, Hampton, Howells, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Reger, and Schumann. The masterclass is the following morning, Saturday, 10/19 at 10:00am. Three young organists will perform BWV 541, Vierne’s “Clair de lune,” and Gigout’s “Toccata” during the masterclass.
