The Schuyler Performing Arts Council (SchuyPAC) is excited to present theatre organist Brett Valliant playing the magnificent and newly renovated Bartlow 1928 Wurlitzer Theatre Organ that is now permanently housed in the new, state-of-the-art Rushville-Industry High School Performing Arts Center.

VALLIANT, a native of Wichita, Kansas, realized his love of music at an early age. He began piano studies at age 4, continuing through organ instruction at Wichita State University. Brett’s professional career began at age 11, and by the age of 15, he was playing concerts around the United States. He has also toured extensively throughout the US, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. Additionally, in the U.S. Brett has performed for the American Film Institute, as well as at conventions of the American Theatre Organ Society (ATOS) and the American Guild of Organists (AGO).

The Brett Valliant Concert will take place on Friday, July 11, 7:00 PM, at the Rushville Industry High School Performing Arts Center in Rushville, IL. Tickets are now available for $25 at Moreland and Devitt Drugstore in Rushville, online at https://ticketstripe.com/July11Valliant or at the door.

Join IDNR field representative Angella Moorehouse for a few hours collecting insects at Wigwam Hollow Bird Sanctuary! Night Lighting is exactly what is sounds like: using light at night to attract insects so that we can identify the species that are on the sanctuary. You do not have to stay for the entire three hours; you are more than welcome to participate in the first collection and then return home to sleep!
