Arts Wide Open: Will Ackerman Benefit Concert for Openlands

Feinberg Theatre, Spertus Institute

Ackerman is universally recognized as a preeminent pioneer in the new age music movement. His inspiration comes as much from a lifelong kinship with nature as "a thorough love of the mystery of making music."

VIP tickets include:
> Reserved seating on the main floor (seat assignments available at will-call);

Opening reception begins at 6:00 PM, VIP reception begins at 8:30 PM.

The Will Ackerman benefit concert celebrates the launch of Arts Wide Open, an innovative outreach initiative that blends the visual and performing arts with a decades-long commitment to protect the natural and open spaces of northeastern Illinois and the surrounding region.
