Organ at Noon Series: The 30th Annual Bethel Schneebeck Organ Recital @ Kilworth Memorial Chapel Broadcast online via Schneebeck LIVE
Tickets
Feb 21 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Join us as American concert organist Wyatt Smith performs music by Florence Price, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Dietrich Bustehude, and more, streaming live from Kilworth Memorial Chapel. Mrs. Bethel Schneebeck and her late husband Edwin Schneebeck generously supported the University of Puget Sound for decades. In recognition of the family’s ongoing commitment to Puget Sound, in 2002 the university named its main music performance venue in honor of the Schneebecks, who also were major contributors to the construction of the Fritts organ in Kilworth Chapel, dedicated in 1989. Mrs. Schneebeck is the mother and grandmother of Puget Sound graduates, and in 1982 she was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Arts degree.
