The DeKalb Public Library will be hosting an after-hours concert featuring NIU’s Suzuki Strings on Sunday, April 16, at 7 p.m. in the main lobby. 

The Suzuki method is a unique way of teaching children and teens music. According to the DeKalb Public Library, “The goal of the Suzuki method is to nurture sensitivity, perseverance, cooperation, confidence, creativity, awareness, and other life skills that strengthen our world one person and relationship at a time.”

Featuring 13 high school students supported by their instructors, the hour-long program will include music by Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev and Bach. 

The concert is free, but donations will be collected for BLUME (Building Leadership Using Music Education), a music program in Haiti. No registration is required. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and refreshments will be provided.
