The Fox Valley Chapter of the American Guild of Organists presents the Chicago Gargoyle Brass and Organ Ensemble in concert: Sunday, September 24, 4:00 pm at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, 4501 Main Street, Downers Grove. This ensemble is comprised of classically trained musicians and performs a wide variety of repertoire in an equally diverse range of settings. The group has toured Minnesota, performed major liturgical works, commissioned and recorded exciting new works, and given concerts for chapters of the American Guild of Organists. The Chicago Gargoyle Brass and Organ Ensemble continues to remain at the cutting edge of music for brass and organ, commissioning new compositions for brass and organ, and entertaining audiences well into its third decade of existence.

Organist Mark Sudeith has performed organ recitals in many venues throughout the South Chicago/Northwest Indiana region, including the Organ Historical Society National Convention in Chicago. Mark holds the Doctor of Music in Piano Performance from Indiana University, and he is Professor of Music at Chicago State University where he has taught since 1984.
