IU Summer Music Festival to begin this week

The Jacobs School of Music will present more than 50 events  included in this year’s Summer Music Festival from June 19 to Aug. 10. A wide range of groups will perform, including percussion ensembles, piano recitals and the summer festival orchestra.

The festival will also feature the return of Angela Brown, a Jacobs alumna and internationally renowned opera singer.

“This is the biggest bargain in the music world,” said Janette Fishell, chair of the Jacobs organ department. “One can experience music-making of international quality for a fraction of the cost of a trip to European music festivals.”

The USA International Harp Competition will bring in musicians from 16 different countries from July 7 until the finale July 17. The competition is a tri-annual event requiring several years of preparation for competitors to memorize up to three hours of performance material.

“It’s quite impressive, and we are really lucky to have something of this caliber in this town,” Andrew Bratton, executive director of the USA International Harp Competition, said.

The chamber music series will host the largest number of events throughout the festival while presenting the entire collection of Robert Schumann’s chamber music in honor of the 200th year since his birth. The majority of the chamber music events are ticketed, so those interested in going should be aware of individual ticket costs or consider purchasing a festival pass.

“There are not many places in the world where one can hear what will begin to unfold in the next few weeks,” said Mimi Zweig, director of Jacobs’ Summer String Academy. “It is all very exciting.”
