The seats were full again in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center's Ruth Lilly Performance Hall at the University of Indianapolis as Maestro Raymond Leppard, UIndy's artist-in-residence and conductor laureate of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, helped kick off the 28th season of the Faculty Artist Series on Monday evening.

Maestro Raymond Leppard was featured in a recent UIndy concert.Leppard talked about his life and career with UIndy choral director Paul Krasnovsky before the energizing performances of UIndy faculty, students and guests.

While the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall remains one of the best of its size in the Midwest, a welcome improvement was added over the summer: screens in the lobby that allow patrons to view the performance happening inside in the event of a late arrival or overflow crowd.

The arts season at UIndy is off to a great start. We hope you'll be able to join us often this year. Visit our arts site for the latest and greatest info on our upcoming events!
