Kim McCord of ISU is teaching a graduate course on Music and Disability this summer at the University of Illinois and is planning an accessible concert, similar to previous concerts held at ISU. This convert will be in a fairly large concert hall but with a stage that is accessible so children are able to come on stage and see and play the instruments. There will be an interpreter and everything will be accessible.
During this concert, one doctoral student in percussion will perform on a 4 octave marimba and will also have different instruments. Shakers will be given away so children can play along. The entire concert will be uploaded to a private YouTube channel afterwards that you can access if your child wants to enjoy the music.
Everyone is welcome but the music will mostly be geared toward children ages 5-10. Parking is free and if you need help or assistance there will be students available to help move wheelchairs or explain where best to park and enter the building.
Please contact Kim with any questions: [email protected].
