I attended Duquesne for a year and a half in the early 1970s. I am sure I attended worship in that chapel, but I haven’t even thought of it in decades. Congratulations to Simon.
It was a perfect venue for the recital, Andrea. Thanks for writing.
Sounds like an evening filled with beautiful music Ruth.
It was beautiful music, Colline. Thank you.
WOW! Very cool. I imagine it was moving.
Sacred music in a sacred space. Incredibly moving.
I imagine that was a stunning performance. Big congrats to Simon – and big kudos to you for supporting all forms of art in your community!
Aww thanks Stef
Dr. Ruth, Simon was terrific! Thanks so much for giving us permission to see the organ. Dorothy and Hugh
