We are hosting the 12th Annual UIC Honors Band Festival on November 1-3, 2024 at the UIC School of Theatre & Music and UIC Student Center East. This year, we are excited to welcome guest conductor and composer Carol Brittin Chambers from Texas Lutheran University to lead the UIC Honors Band. Her full bio can be found below.

The UIC Honors Band Festival brings together top high school students from the greater-Chicago region for an engaging weekend of musical collaboration culminating in a concert performance. During the festival, students will work with a distinguished guest conductor, attend a performance from UIC Ensembles, participate in a masterclass with UIC performance faculty, and perform in a shared final concert with the UIC Wind Ensemble. Students must be nominated by their high school band director or private lesson instructor to be eligible to participate.
