A reminder to all that the Seventh Annual St. Andrew's Lecture will take place Friday evening October 15, beginning at 8 p.m. Our speaker is Dr. Robert Page. Dr. Page, Professor of Music at CMU and Director of Special Projects for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, is retiring this year at the end of his 26th season as Director of the Mendelssohn Choir. Dr. Page has been a leading figure in the renaissance of our region as a center for the creative and performing arts. Also featured at this year's Lecture will be St. Andrew's Guest Artist, Highland Park resident Ruth Mundundu, who as a "culinary artist" is a leading figure in our area's new focus on African cuisine. We'll enjoy a festive dessert reception reflecting the exciting cultural diversity of our neighborhood. (Ruth will also be the guest speaker at the Sunday morning "Coffee and" Conversation at St. Andrew's at 10 a.m. on Sunday, October 17.) The event is free and open to the public, with all costs covered by the St. Andrew's Lecture Fund. Coffees at the reception courtesy of Amy Enrico and the Tazza d'Oro on North Highland Avenue.
