BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Indiana University musicians are prepared to sing -- and play -- the praises of their newly inaugurated leader, President Adam W. Herbert.

"This is only the 17th president in 184 years," said Robin Roy Gress, secretary of the IU Board of Trustees. "It offers a great opportunity for the university community to come together."

Fittingly, the university community will come together with music, a cornerstone of academic and artistic excellence at IU for more than half a century. A number of events featuring IU School of Music faculty and staff and covering IU's wide range of musical mastery -- classical music, jazz, folk music and gospel -- will fill the air during the April 14 and 15 inaugural festivities.

Inaugural concert, Wednesday, April 14, 8:30 p.m.
IU Auditorium

Inaugural ceremony, Thursday, April 15, 3 p.m.
IU Auditorium

To speak with Gress, Director of University Ceremonies Bill Elliott or any of the performers, contact David Bricker at 812-856-9035 or brickerd@indiana.edu.
