Auditorium Chamber Music Series
The University Honors Program helps
to fund/support the Auditorium Chamber Music Series, and UHP
members can obtain a free ticket to each of the
concerts. You need to stop by the Honors Center (Room 315
Idaho Commons) afternoons (1-4:45 pm) during the two-week period prior to each
concert to pick up an honors program "voucher" (then exchange your voucher at the door the night of the performance). Plan
now to join friends and honors peers at this excellent music
series. All concerts
begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Administration Building
Auditorium. Follow the link above to the music series
for fuller descriptions of the distinguished groups and
programs that are scheduled.

the Student Union sponsors, and the UHP helps to subsidize, a series of unusual and
acclaimed films, and UHP members can stop by the Honors

all films are shown in the SUB Borah Theater at 7 and 9:30
