With a plethora of organs for listening pleasure, Chicago presents you with a diverse and EXCITING experience. I want to invite you to join us in Chicago, Illinois from 8 to 13 July, 2012 for an exciting OHS Convention! We are able to offer a wide range of colorful and historic pipe organs for your enjoyment whose history spans the era from the 19th century to the present era. Many of these instruments are well known to local OHS members who form the Chicago Midwest Chapter, and these beloved organs enjoy a sort of OHS "stamp of approval" of many years' standing. These are all different organs than those featured at our 1984 or 2002 OHS Convention held in our area; this region has a wealth of interesting instruments! You will be able to tour our area in sleek air conditioned coaches. There are also innumerable points of interest in our town; our convention hotel, with its free shuttle from the airport, has an “L” stop that goes downtown, only one hundred feet away! Most importantly, come join us for a week of splendid music presented by many talented musicians. Come celebrate our community's artistic heritage of fine pipe organs while you enjoy the warm hospitality which our region has to offer to visitors. I and the 2012 OHS Convention Committee look forward to greeting you personally this June! Warm regards,
Dennis Northway, CHAIR
