To familiarize its audience with one of its new concert venues for the upcoming 2011/2012 season, the Peoria Symphony Orchestra will hold an Open House on Saturday, June 4, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Grace Presbyterian Church, 8607 State Route 91.

“I look forward to greeting our friends at Grace on June 4th. They will find the hall most impressive with great acoustics, very comfortable seats, great views, and a design similar to modern European concert halls,” said PSO music director George Stelluto.

Those planning to attend the Open House should take U.S. Route 150 (War Memorial Drive) and turn north onto Route 91, which is near the Shoppes at Grand Prairie. The church is located 1.2 miles down the road, across from the new OSF Center for Health.

The PSO has scheduled three concerts at Grace; the October 22 Civil War-themed Classics Series concert, its January 14 Classics Series concert with guest artists Richard Hirschl and David Taylor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and it final Classics Series concert on April 21, a performance of Beethoven’s “Missa Solemnis.”
