An introduction/demonstration of the new five manual Schoenstein & Co.
organ in the Conference Center. This is a unique opportunity to hear an organ
in a room that seats 21,000. This is a combined event with all Utah Chapters
as well as Eastern Idaho.
A couple of guidelines.
1. Spouse/significant others are invited, but no children.
2. There will be NO opportunity to play the organ individually due to the
number of people expected.
3. There will be NO organ crawl into the chambers due to the precariousness
and number of people expected.
Those who are driving will be able to park without charge under the Conference
Center. The parking ramp is accessed by driving north on West Temple, just
north of North Temple. After driving down the ramp, take a ticket from the
dispensing machine as though you were a paying customer. At some point during
the evening you will be given a token that will allow you to exit later without
having to pay. After taking your ticket if you look straight ahead you will
see a sign on a sawhorse that says “AGO” marking your entrance into the building.
Park as close as you can and walk to that entrance. Hosts will direct you
from that point to the choir loft.
If you will be taking TRAX into the city or are otherwise approaching the
Conference Center on foot, enter Door 4 (near the ticket office) at ground
level on the west side of the building. Hosts will direct you from that point.
Anyone interested is certainly welcome to come early for a tour of the Conference
Center. Tours begin every few minutes (as needed) and last about an hour.
Anyone interested in taking a tour should enter the Conference Center through
Door 15 on the south side of the building and should probably plan to arrive
by about 6PM. Tours are not started after 8PM, so there will not be an opportunity
for a tour following our meeting. At the conclusion of the tour please go
to the hallway on the west side of the building on the Plaza level and proceed
north toward the ticket office. A host will meet you and give further directions.
(Hosts in the auditorium itself are instructed not to allow people to come
up on the rostrum.)
