Join FHS Chicago-Midwest Chapter at Volo’s cozy chic all-season patio in welcoming Christopher Kelly, visiting us from France, who will regale us with his talk about FHS’s special 2025 grantee, the Basilica of Vézelay. Enjoy a cocktail dînatoire and an open bar of curated wines from the Burgundy region, beer and soft drinks to accompany the great conversation and evening of delightful discovery.
The talk will explore the philosophical and architectural sources of Vézelay’s ethereal charm and grace while celebrating the basilica’s seemingly impossible design from such an early chapter in our shared history.
