    y PragueAN ELBE RIV ERBerlin CRUISE aboard the Elbe Princesse • April 23–May 4, 2017 WITH Jocelyne Kolb, Professor of German Studies Dear Smith Alumnae, The Elbe River has long been an important delineator of east and west in Europe. Linking two of the most fascinating capitals of Europe—Prague and Berlin—it traverses a land filled with captivating treasures, including cosmopolitan cities and picturesque towns; terraced vineyards and lush orchards; fortress-crowned crags; and the spectacular gorges of “Saxon Switzerland.” This eight-night river cruise aboard the brand-new Elbe Princesse embraces the broad sweep of history across this region of Europe in visits to some of its most meaningful cities, towns, and monuments: Wenceslas Square, ground zero of the Velvet Revolution; the Wittenberg church where Martin Luther posted his 95 Reformation Theses; historic Jewish synagogues and cemeteries; World War II memorials; Meissen’s fine porcelain workshop; the treasures of Dresden’s Green Vault; Potsdam’s whimsical Sanssouci Palace; and Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s Green Citadel, a fine example of a unique artistic vision often compared to that of Antoni Gaudi. From Bohemia to the former East Germany, the variety of visits and views in this part of the world is rich and unique. Accompanied by Smith Professor Jocelyne Kolb, soak up the fascinating history unfolding throughout this cruise while enjoying visits to noteworthy cathedrals, magnificent palaces and gardens, and art and architectural masterpieces old and new. This cruise is co-sponsored by Harvard and Yale, and the Elbe Princesse has accommodations for only 64 guests.

THE CONVENTION WILL COMPLETE what the 2002 con- vention started—demonstrating more of Chicago’s dis- tinguished pipe organs, from newer, interesting instru- ments that are frequent participants in Chicago’s music life, to hidden gems that have long been silent. The Convention events cover the length and breadth of the Chicago area, including northern Indiana venues, and include an evening boat cruise for viewing the mag- nificent Chicago skyline while you dine. PERFORMERS Recitalists include many of the Chicago area’s leading organists, along with artists familiar to OHS audiences from previous conventions. Many players have a Chicago connection, and the recit- als often feature younger players. CONVENTION ORGANS C.B. Fisk Casavant Frères, Limitée Hook & Hastings Hinners Organ Co. Skinner Organ Co.
