Burr Oak String Band to perform in Illinois College’s Fine Arts Series at Fall Festival

10.06.2025

The Burr Oak String Band will perform on Wednesday, October 15, at 6 p.m. during the Fall Festival.

Please join us at 6 p.m. 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.

Adult season tickets are available for $70, which is a $20 savings over purchasing tickets individually. Adult tickets to individual concerts are available for $20 per concert, except for the family programs on October 15 and March 11, when adult tickets will be just $5. As always, students of all ages and children are admitted free of charge to all concerts.

For more information, to purchase a Season or Single Event ticket, or to make a donation, please contact Jennifer Phebus ’07 at 217.245.3192 or jennifer.phebus@ic.edu.
