Historians know Boston as the birthplace of the American Revolution. Over 250,000 college students find it a cool place to live and learn. Tourists like Boston for its European ambiance. Classical musicians love it for its thriving choral, orchestral, opera and early music scenes. Organists know Boston as Mecca: the backyard of Hook, Hastings and Hutchings, home turf for Skinner and Harrison, and the big town for Fisk, Andover and Noack. New and restored instruments abound, and not just from the local guys: Schoenstein, Richards Fowkes and Juget-Sinclair are represented here. In turn, these organs occupy some of America’s finest buildings—from the restrained neo-Classicism of Asher Benjamin’s Old West Church and Charles McKim’s Symphony Hall, to the exuberant Victorianism of John Sturgis’s Church of the Advent and Willard Sears’ “New” Old South Church, or the one-of-a-kind genius of H.H. Richardson’s Trinity Church. Past, present and future combine as one here. We invite you to experience all of this in Boston. Sincerely, AIO 2016 Boston Committee Jonathan Ambrosino, William Catanesye, William Czelusniak, Michael Foley, Andrew Gingery, Jonathan Ortloff and Matthew Bellocchio, Chair 3 2016 Convention Information Hotel Parking e outdoor parking lot is at the far end of the hotel.
