UISO Performance at Krannert

November 20, 2025

On the 20th of November, I attended another performance of the UISO. Looking forward to Yuyuan's solo, the program for tonight...

  1. AARON COPLAND's Suite from Billy the Kid
  2. INGRID STÖLZEL's Comet Coggia
  3. MAURICE RAVEL's Suite No. 2 from Daphnis et Chloé

The show was fantastic - the best of FA2025. Daphnis et Chloé, the most well known, was good, but my favorite was the Comet Coggia, of which this session was the premiere. Link here: Ingrid Stölzel.

There was a livestream. I mischeviously went to the front of the Hall, so I could wave hi to some spectators.

Outside of Krannert, a foggy Urbana-Champaign was waiting for me.

One of my favorite subreddits is "r/TheNightFeeling". The photo was inspired by wanting to evoke a similar feeling.

Overall, all of campus was extremely hazy/foggy. To the point where driving was borderline dangerous. It was an extremely cool experience.

Krannert concerts were a great experience. We get to support students (e.g. the musicians and team staffing Krannert), enjoy some great performances (e.g. I attended Orfeo last year, which was great), and the tickets are cheap (only $4 for students). In a short time at UIUC, I have extracted much value from Krannert.
