The conference is to be held on the beautiful campus of North Central College, located in Naperville, Illinois. Wentz Concert Hall will serve as the home base for the weekend's events. The Wentz Concert Hall has received a multitude of accolades since it first opened in 2008. IL-ACDA is most grateful to the administration, faculty and staff for this collaboration!
The North Central College web site states:
"The Wentz Concert Hall and Fine Arts Center stands at the gateway of the campus and downtown Naperville. It's a cultural icon for Chicago's western suburbs, a venue for both renowned performers and community groups, and a home worthy of the College's fine arts programs. The dream of this grand facility was nearly 20 years in the making. 2008 will forever mark the moment when this dream was fully realized with a building that has enhanced the cultural arts on campus and in the community for generations to come.
Special features of this magnificent 57,000 square-foot building include:
- The 605-seat concert hall with exceptional acoustics
- The Bartley and Maricela Madden Black Box Theatre seating 150 people
- The Schoenherr Art Gallery
- Other music program-related space"
The Fall Conference will also utilize the Pfeiffer Hall, also located on the NCC Campus.
