Electronic Music Midwest is set for Oct. 14, 15, 16

As part of its Arts and Ideas program, Lewis University will host a festival of electro-acoustical music, "Electronic Music Midwest," in the Philip Lynch Theatre located on University's main campus in Romeoville.

Electronic Music Midwest is dedicated to programming of a wide variety of electro-acoustic music and providing the highest quality performance of electronic media. This annual weekend festival consists of approximately nine short concerts, each lasting approximately one hour in length.

The goal is to bring together vibrant and interesting artists of all forms, give them a vehicle for their expressions and a place for them to share ideas with others. Since its beginning, Electronic Music Midwest has programmed more than 250 new electro-acoustic compositions. Composers have traveled from around the world to graciously share their music with audiences in the Midwest.

This event is being presented as a part of Lewis University's Arts & Ideas Program, providing cultural and educational programming for students and the community. For additional information, please contact Dr. Michael Cunningham, Director of Arts & Ideas, at (815) 836-5385.
