If you missed our October 9th event you can now watch online!
Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, which ravaged the city October 8-10, 1871, this very special performance will feature musical selections related to the Fire, performed on the historic four-manual Austin organ of Second Presbyterian Church by its music director Michael Shawgo accompanied by Sherry Watkins on vocals.
Commentary from William Tyre, Executive Director and Curator of Glessner House provides a rich variety of stories about the Fire, including gripping first-hand accounts, the aid received from around the world, and the astonishing speed at which residents came together to rebuild their city bigger and better than before.
