The Schuyler Performing Arts Council (SchuyPAC) is pleased to announce a special performance by world-renowned organist Richard Hills. This performance will take place at the RIHS Performing Arts Center on the Bartlow Organ May 30, 2024, at 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets are currently available for $25. Ticket reservations are highly encouraged.
SchuyPAC is proud to present this special performance and dedication of the Bill Bartlow organ located permanently in the RIHS Performing Arts Center. The Wurlitzer Organ was originally located in the Orpheum Theater in Quincy, Illinois. It was later moved to the home of Bill Bartlow and has been featured in Illinois Stories. SchuyPAC is honored to dedicatethe organ and this performance to the Bartlow family and especially to Bill who cared for the unique instrument so well.
Richard Hills (b. 1980) is widely acknowledged as one of the very few musicians to have bridged and mastered the divide between the classical and theatre organ worlds. His many recording credits include, most recently, a disc of British music made on the magnificent dual-purpose Compton organ of Southampton's Guildhall, which earned a five-star review in Choir and Organ magazine.
Richard is a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists and a strong supporter of the work of the UK’s Cinema Organ Society, to whom he serves as Musical Adviser. We would like to thank our Gold Sponsor Nancy Jorgensen and the Bartlow family and our Silver Sponsors Moreland & Devitt Pharmacy and Rushville State Bank.
Concert will take place May 30, 2024 at 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at https://thehubart.com/music-resources/
