Illinois State University School of Music presents Music Factory, the annual student composition concert, Tuesday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m. in the Kemp Recital Hall. The concert is free and open to the public.

Each year the student composition majors are able to showcase some of the material that they have been working on during the year.
