City of Chicago Honors Volunteer Charles Staples
Please join us at the Chicago Cultural Center on Wednesday, May 3, when the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concert will be dedicated to Charles Staples for his decades of volunteer service to the City of Chicago and "The People's Palace." Mr. Staples played a significant role in the campaign to save the building in the 1960s and 70s - and he volunteers to this day, providing visitor information in the Washington Lobby. There will be a brief speaking program from 11:50am-12:05pm before the concert begins at 12:15pm.
