In summertime, the living is easy — or so the Gershwin standard would have you believe. Mona Sleiman, event and community relations manager in the Office of the President, is hoping the Summer Concert Series will help make that vision a reality.

“It’s meant as a chance for members of the campus community to get out of our offices and take a break,” she says. “We’ll come together to share a little time and a little music.”

The series of free lunchtime concerts will open Tuesday, June 27, with a performance by concurrent music and education student Madelyn Stein, a pop singer-songwriter.

Head over to the River Commons on Turtle Island Walk north of Lambton Tower at noon. In addition to music and social connection, the event promises attendees a free serving of gelato.

Summary: Music and education student Madelyn Stein will perform at the first event in the Summer Concert Series on Tuesday, June 27.
