OUTSIDE at the Research Park: Funkadesi, opening act Hathaways
Friday, July 17 at 7:30pm; opening act at 6:30pm
Krannert Center partners with Fox/Atkins Development, LLC, and the U of I Research Park to present another exciting three-show series of summer concerts in a welcoming, eco-friendly public venue featuring tempting food and beverage options from Biaggi’s Restaurant. First up is the eclectic stew of East Indian raga, a bit of reggae, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and contemporary grooves that form the perfect recipe for a joyfully vibrant world music experience from five-time Chicago Music Award winner Funkadesi. This group is sure to start the series off with a high-energy punch—even fellow Chicagoan President Obama recently noted, “There’s a lot of funk in that desi!”

KCSA Tours Training!
Some important info for those not yet trained in tours:
Monday 5/4, Steve and Hanin will be training all FOH staff for tours The KCSA board for next year should also come to this training, which will be from 8 to 10 pm. All adboard members are required to be trained as tour guides, so if you are at all available, please come. It's much easier for our tours directors if they can train people en masse. Thanks a bunch all!

Bring your colleagues, bring your siblings, bring your neighbors, or just bring your energy to our easy-going, free-flowing, season-ending festivities.
