Grab your friends and your dancin’ shoes! Krannert Center is happy to announce the return of Krannert Center Uncorked, our free Thursday night concert series that presents the best musicians in Champaign-Urbana and throughout central Illinois.

“Uncorked is a social event of its own now, like a free Thursday happy hour where everyone is welcome,” Director Mike Ross said. It’s a place where friends can gather, enjoy a beverage from the Stage 5 Bar, and listen to great local music across many genres from bluegrass and folk to rock, jazz, and everything in between.

Krannert Center will conclude its Black History Month programming with three exceptional music performances, plus a discussion with one of the nation’s foremost jazz musicians.

Krannert Center for the Performing Arts has teamed with Illinois Public Media (IPM) to support their latest initiative, Illinois Soul. The new service from IPM will debut on February 1, broadcasting in Champaign-Urbana on WILL-FM 101.1 and streaming everywhere at illinoissoul.org.
