Inspired Elgin: An Immersive Arts and Cultural Experience

Join us for an afternoon of culture with this fun event from 1pm-5pm on the Civic Plaza (Eastside of The Hemmens) with street performers, pop-up performances, food trucks and arts activities all culminating in the featured event which is a concert featuring Anne-Marie McDermott with Chamber Music On The Fox from 3pm-4:30pm at The Hemmens Cultural Center in our main stage theatre.

The concert can also be heard on the plaza, so feel free to bring blanket(s) or chair(s) to enjoy the music outdoor on the lawn if it suits you! 

In a career that has spanned over 25 years, American pianist Anne-Marie McDermott has played concertos, recitals and chamber music in hundreds of cities throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. The breadth of her repertoire matches that of her instrument, spanning from Bach, Haydn and Beethoven to Rachmaninoff, Prokoviev and Scriabin to works by today’s most influential composers.

This is a free reserved seating concert. Tickets are required for entry.  Coming with group? Purchase your tickets in one transaction to sit together. Max 8 Tickets.

** Don't miss the unique opportunity to join Chamber Music on the Fox for a Gala Fundraiser right on the Hemmens stage immediately following the Inspired Elgin concert!  For $75 per person you will enjoy premiere seating for the concert, hors d'oeuvres, custom cocktails, a silent auction, and a chance to mingle with internationally acclaimed concert pianist, Anne-Marie McDermott, all while supporting Chamber Music on the Fox!
