CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - The events of Sept. 11, 2001, will be remembered again this year in a brief observance on the campus of the University of Illinois.
Music performed by the Jupiter String Quartet will begin promptly on Sept. 11 (Tuesday) at 7:46 a.m., to coincide with the time 11 years ago that the World Trade Center in New York City was first struck by a hijacked jetliner.
The quartet will perform the first movement of the Ravel Quartet in F major and the second movement of Beethoven's Quartet in E flat major, Op. 74.
The quartet will perform in Smith Hall, 805 S. Mathews Ave., Urbana.
The audience is asked to enter and leave in silence. There will be no speaking from the stage.
The commemoration, expected to last about 20 minutes, is free and open to the public.
