Windy City Winds, “Chicago’s Community Band”, begin their fourth season performing their Fall Concert, “Potpourri”, on Friday evening November 16, 2018 at St. Pauls United Church of Christ, 2335 N. Orchard St. in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. The concert will begin at 7:30 pm. The band will be conducted by its co-founders Mark Mosley and Sarah Good Mosley. The concert will include music by composer Julie Giroux titled Just Flyin’! The concert will feature three works premiered 75 years ago during World War II: Commando March by Samuel Barber, Russian Christmas Music by Alfred Reed, and Profanation, the middle movement from Leonard Bernstein’s “Jeremiah” Symphony. Concluding their year-long celebration of Bernstein’s 100th birthday, the band will also perform the finale from his musical Candide, “Make Our Garden Grow.”
Admission is free, although donations are welcome.
Directions and Parking for the Windy City Winds Concert
Our concert is at St. Pauls United Church of Christ, 2335 N. Orchard, Chicago IL — on the corner of Orchard and Fullerton, across the street from the former site of Children’s Hospital in Lincoln Park, one block east of DePaul University.
From Lake Shore Drive, take Fullerton west past Clark Street to the first stop sign at Geneva. Turn left and take Geneva south one half block to the next stop sign at Kemper Drive. Turn right and take Kemper Driver (a skinny one way street) and park for free in the church parking lot on the right. Continue walking down Kemper and enter the sanctuary at the corner.
If the parking lot is full, continue down Kemper, turn right on Orchard and turn left at Fullerton. Take Fullerton west into the left turn lane at the stop light at Halsted and Lincoln. Turn a hard left onto Lincoln and go south to the Lincoln Commons Parking Garage. Turn right into the parking for additional parking. Then walk across Lincoln and south to Orchard, turn left and walk a half block to the church sanctuary entrance.
Note that most street parking in the neighborhood requires a permit, so be careful where you park.
