[February 21, 2020]
The Elkhart Historical Society is pleased and honored to announce
that Paula Pugh Romanaux Phd, DMA, has graciously agreed to kick off
our 2020 Dinner Lecture Series. Her most recent endeavor includes
research on the pipe organ grants of the famous American
industrialist and entrepreneur, Andrew Carnegie. Her investigations
have led to the discovery of over 207 Carnegie organs in Illinois
alone.
Dr. Romanaux’s, “The Pipe Organ Benefactions of Andrew Carnegie in
Central Illinois, 1901-1919,” will be presented at the Elkhart
Christian Church, on Friday, February 28, at 5:30p. This unique
dinner lecture venue will allow for a short recital by Paula that
will, no doubt, give us a glimpse into her amazing talent as a
musician and storyteller. Her concert will feature an 1880’s Henry
Pilcher and Sons organ that once graced the home of Governor Richard
Oglesby’s home on Elkhart Hill.
Dr. Paula Pugh Romanaux’s contributions to music education and
history are world renown. She has served as an organist at St.
Andrews University in Scotland, an Illinois Historical Society
consultant, a lecturer of Organ and Musicology at the University for
Music and Performing Arts in Lubeck, Germany and Cultural Ambassador
to the Baltics as a recitalist and lecturer. This extraordinary
musician and steward of our musical history and significance cannot
be missed.
