Announcing Illinois Summer Music ONLINE!

This summer the University of Illinois School of Music is going online!

During the month of July, tune in to live presentations by School of Music faculty on a variety of topics.

These free sessions feature our own Illinois Faculty, with a few special guests along the way.

Explore and learn about a variety of topics, including: music composition, arranging, jazz improvisation, careers in music, recording technology, Stephen Sondheim, and more.

All sessions are offered free of charge, all you need is a computer browser to get started. 

Register in advance and receive a reminder email and link on the day before each session. 

Illinois Summer Youth Music

With great regret, we announce that ISYM is cancelled for 2020.

With the safety of students, faculty and staff remaining our top priority, we join the rest of the University of Illinois community in making this difficult decision.

We are working on ways to stay connected with you through music, and invite you to check back later this summer for updates.

And of course we hope to see you on December 1, 2020 when registration opens for ISYM 2021.

isym scholarship fund

Many students are able to attend ISYM each year due to the generous scholarship support of local service organizations, booster groups, and individual donors.

We have established the ISYM Scholarship and Support Fund so that we may reach more schools, communities and students with our ISYM programs.
