Neither rain, nor wind, nor snow…nor FedEx

A digital 24-track recorder donated by jazz great Oscar Peterson finally reached the Loyola concert hall named after him.

Peterson made the donation in October 2000, but the courier service lost the equipment in transit.It was replaced by Peterson’s insurance company.

This is not the Peterson’s first donation of the kind. When the Oscar Peterson Concert Hall was officially inaugurated in the fall of 1999, he donated a digital mixing console.

The recorder and the console will be used by music students to record their concerts.
