Fine Arts Series :: FALL FESTIVAL WITH BURR OAK STRING BAND
FALL FESTIVAL WITH BURR OAK STRING BAND | FAMILY NIGHT SERIES :: Wednesday, October 15, 2025 :: 6 PM :: Historic Upper Quad
The Fine Arts Series enjoys planning family events in the fall! Please join us at 6pm on the Illinois College Quad for some fun family activities, all to the accompaniment of the Burr Oak String Band who will be performing from 6-7pm. While rooted in the traditions of American Old-time string music, the close harmonies and the interplay of mandolin, guitar, fiddle and clawhammer banjo bring the Burr Oak sound to other musical genres and traditions. The musicians of this ensemble are widely known as performers and composers of bluegrass music throughout the Midwest and in Canada.
