Thank you to everyone who joined us on Friday, June 6 for the opening of our new Outdoor Public Performance Space!
We celebrated with the board, donors, sponsors, and members of the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation, Mayor Scott Levin of the City of Elmhurst, the Elmhurst Chamber of Commerce, community members, and more! We’d also like to give a special thanks to Ken Bartels, Community Bank of Elmhurst, for serving as the event’s Master of Ceremonies!
We had wonderful weather and enjoyed a spectacular performance by the Elmhurst Symphony Brass, led by Music Director Stephen Alltop. This inaugural concert will be the first of many performances to take the new stage this summer! Visit the museum’s website for upcoming concerts: https://bit.ly/4kxyh6N
