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.

Commentary during the performance will provide 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.

Doors will open at 2:00pm for tours of the National Historic Landmark sanctuary and a reception in Fellowship Hall. The performance will begin at 3:00pm.
