buetow_render-1024x662“Concordia University’s Buetow Music Center Auditorium will have a completely different look and feel when the 2016-17 academic year begins as it is currently undergoing a complete renovation thanks to the generous gifts of several benefactors. When completed, the 42-year old facility will be transformed into a modern, state-of-the-art performance venue that will greatly enhance the student experience at CSP”.  This from the CSP magazine.  This weekend there will be a concert and dedication of the refurbished auditorium.  It is quite different from the days when I was there.  Some folks that have been on this blog will be attending the festivities because a family member was a generous giver to the cause.  The benefactor was Dale Young (see October 5 2014 blog) who has been on this blog several times.  He was a soldier of the cross, a preacher of the word and supporter of the arts.  His family should be proud and I pray they enjoy the festivities and memories of Dale’s concern for his church.
