CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – A new Web site created by The Robert E. Brown Center for World Music at the University of Illinois will keep lovers of international music attuned to performances and other opportunities for indulging their passion. Along with news and information about the center’s programs, activities and artist-teachers, the Web site offers an online events calendar that announces performances and other world-music events in East Central Illinois and the surrounding area.
“Those who enjoy live international music concerts, workshops and lectures, and those who offer these events to our community, will find the Web site to be a valuable tool,” said Jason Finkelman, the center’s communications manager, who maintains the site. “We aim for this calendar to become a comprehensive resource for informing the community of world-music events in our area.”
To add an event to the online calendar, click on the “submit event” link on the
left side of the home page, which will open an online form titled “create event.” Submit the completed form online for review and posting.
The center, in Levis Faculty Center, 919 W. Illinois St., Urbana, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the understanding and appreciation of the world’s performing arts, primarily through active study of their performance. Its main activity is engaging visiting artists and local artist-associates to teach and perform at the university and in local elementary and secondary schools.
