MUSIC IN THE GROVE Postponed to June 2022

The Music Institute of Chicago has made the difficult decision to postpone Music in the Grove, the free block party celebrating its 90th Anniversary scheduled Sunday, September 19 at Nichols Concert Hall and on Grove Street in Evanston. The current plan is to reschedule the event in June 2022.

Said Music Institute President and CEO Mark Geroge, "Our top priority is the health and well-being of families, faculty and staff, volunteers, exhibitors, and members of the community at large. We feel this is not the right time to host a large event. While this news is disappointing, we have been monitoring developments closely and taking precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local public health agencies. In light of the delta variant of the coronavirus, we believe this is the right decision."
