Artist Recital Series and Convocation Series

Artist Recital Series – Organist Olivier Latry

Hailed for his “consummate artistry” and “elegant virtuosity,” Notre Dame's titular organist Olivier Latry plays it all. A self-proclaimed ambassador of 17th- to 21st-century music, Latry is not only recognized as one of the world's leading performers of traditional organ music—particularly Messaien—he also dazzles audiences worldwide with the music of his contemporaries. A devoted improviser, Latry has garnered a reputation as one of the world's top “improvisateurs” in the French tradition. He will lend his signature prowess to Finney Chapel's Kay Africa Memorial Organ, built by C.B. Fisk, Inc.

The concert takes place on Tuesday, November 9 at 8pm in Finney Chapel. Tickets may be purchased by contacting Central Ticket Service at 440.775.8169

Convocation Series – Christine Todd Whitman

Former New Jersey governor and EPA administrator Christine Todd Whitman is president of the Whitman Strategy Group, a consulting firm that specializes in energy and environmental issues. With U.S. Senator John Danforth, she cofounded the Republican Leadership Council to support fiscally conservative, socially tolerant candidates and to reclaim the word “republican.” Author of the New York Times bestseller It’s My Party Too, Whitman earned bipartisan praise as governor for her commitment to preserve a record amount of New Jersey land as green space. In her tenure at the EPA, the agency established the first federal program to promote redevelopment and reuse of previously contaminated industrial sites known as brownfields. Today, she serves on the board of directors of several nonprofits and corporations.

The convocation takes place on Thursday, November 11 at 7:30 pm in Finney Chapel. No tickets are required.
