The Northeastern Illinois University Office of Cultural Events programs concerts, lectures and special events featuring guest artists and visiting lecturers. It is our goal in the Office of Cultural Events to provide quality cultural offerings for both the NEIU community as well as the surrounding neighborhood communities.
The Jewel Box Series is a concert series highlighting classical, jazz and world music performers on either the second or the third Friday of each month. The concerts run from September through May, take place primarily in the NEIU Fine Arts Recital Hall, and are broadcast live over Chicago’s Fine Arts Radio Station WFMT 98.7 FM.
The Presidential Lecture Series features renowned authors, poets, activists and artists that present free public lectures on campus often coupled with daytime interactive student sessions.
Special Events include concerts by the Chicago Clarinet Ensemble, events in the annual Chicago Brass Festival, and the annual NEIU Talent Show. Most of these events take place in the auditorium.
The Cultural Calendar provides an overview of all lectures, concerts and other cultural events taking place at Northeastern Illinois University. For more detailed information, click on the links provided or browse the appropriate departments.
