This south side venue, the Second Presbyterian Church, was designed by architect James Renwick and completed in 1874. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is designated a Chicago Landmark by the city, and features more than twenty stained glass windows by artists including Louis C. Tiffany.

Doors open at 5:00 pm; performance starts promptly at 6:00 pm. The program should last about an hour; a reception follows.

This is local cellist Lucie Ticho's last Chicago concert before heading east to study in a combined Columbia-Juilliard program (BA from Columbia, Masters from Juilliard).

The Eye Specialists Center has underwritten this event and has purchased all 1200 seats, making tickets available to the public at no charge.
