Clemens Center – As explained earlier on this set of pages about the 2026 ATOS Convention, the Convention Committee wished to make sure the outstanding craftsmanship of David Peckham was included as part of the convention schedule. As each artist was invited to be part of the week’s event, the artist indicated their instruments of preference and Brett Valliant select the Clemens Center organ for his appearance. Shown below are Ken Double, the Convention MC, Brett Valliant’s performance and a photo of Brett being introduced to the instrument by David Peckham.
West Herr Auditorium Theatre – Nathan Avakian’s many talents include stage lighting, so for this convention appearance and with Nathan’s assistance, RTOS began the introduction of new stage/console lighting for this opening program of the Convention. Since the 2019 ATOS Convention at this venue, the sound system has been significantly improved, allowing for better rendition of Nathan’s unique arrangements.
