On April 5 and 6, 2018, CHIME hosts CHIMEFest, a festival of concerts and talks co-presented by CHIME, The Department of Music, and the Arts, Science & Culture Initiative.
The event features performances by pianist Daniel Pesca and Spektral Quartet, a talk on the music of Maryanne Amacher by Prof Amy Cimini (UCSD), concerts of music by students from UChicago, Northwestern, UIllinois, and Western Michigan, and a special concert of rarely heard works by Maryanne Amacher and Peter Ablinger that blur the boundary between Sound Art and Music.
All concerts and talks will take place in the Logan Center Penthouse, on the 9th floor of the Logan Center.
