Hold Applause Until the End at Oct. 16 Prism Concert

The Prism Concert, a non-traditional concert presented during Homecoming Week by the Illinois State University School of Music, features soloists, chamber groups and ensembles performing continuously, uninterrupted by applause. Like the multitude of colors emanating from a crystal prism, the musical Prism Concert features a kaleidoscope of instrumental compositions performed in immediate succession from every possible angle of the Center for the Performing Arts concert hall.

This year's concert will be at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 16. General admission is $6, $5 for faculty-staff and $4 for students and senior citizens. Children 6 and under are admitted free. Tickets are available at the Center for the Performing Arts box office from noon to 5 p.m. weekdays or by phone at (309) 438-2535.

The concert will highlight a large cross section of the faculty and students in solo, chamber and large ensemble works. Groups performing include the Wind Symphony, Symphonic Winds and Chamber Winds.
