The University of Illinois's quartet-in-residence will perform works by Mendelssohn, Dvořák, and Agócs Tuesday night in Kranert's Foellinger Great Hall.

The week of July 16th will be an intense one for participants in the annual Summer Piano Institute at the University of Illinois. Piano students from across the U-S and abroad will be studying with five guest faculty pianists — including the Summer Piano Institute’s artistic director, Ian Hobson. Both students and guest faculty will give public performances, and some will perform with Sinfonia da Camera.

About 140 young musicians will be on the University of Illinois Urbana campus this weekend for the first ever Heart of Illinois Youth Orchestra Festival.
