Illinois College Fine Arts Series announces 2022-23 season
The Illinois College Fine Arts Series will kick off its 43rd season of bringing outstanding, inspiring music to the Jacksonville area next month.
The season opens on Sept. 18 with a family concert by Liam Teague on steelpan and will include two additional musicians, including IC Drumline Director Tyler Carpenter, at 3 p.m. in Rammelkamp Chapel. Then, on Oct. 19, pianist Pei-I Wang will perform a solo concert.

The festival will conclude with pianist George Winston on Sunday, Nov. 13.
