The Concerts on the Quad series, a family-friendly annual tradition at Illinois State University, is returning this summer. The concerts are presented by ISU’s School of Music, the Illinois Shakespeare Festival and The Pantagraph. “The performers are different every year,” Graduate Coordinator for the School of Music Angelo Favis said. The concerts are free and open to the public. They all begin 7 p.m. on the east side of Cook Hall on the Quad. The 33rd Illinois Regiment Band, an authentic reenactment of the Civil War-era band from Illinois State Normal University in 1861, is performing July 4. Harpeth Rising, three classically trained musicians playing original music, are performing July 11. Tom Marko and the Inner Light will be performing music from their upcoming CD release on Summit Records July 18. This is also ISU Alumni Night. The ISU Alumni Association will be onsite with giveaways. The last concert of the summer, “Singing Under the Stars,” is July 25. This is an evening for ISU faculty and guests to sing favorites from operatic and Broadway stages. Favis said concertgoers can “look forward to an evening of good music in front of Cook Hall, hopefully in good weather.”
