Jan Bach

Kudos

Jan Bach, professor emeritus from the NIU School of Music, is among the nine 2004 inductees into the Fox Valley Arts Hall of Fame.

A St. Charles resident who came to NIU in 1966, Jan was a distinguished composition professor and recognized internationally as a composer in virtually every acoustic medium. Jan also was one of the first Distinguished Research Professors, selected in 1982.

The mission of the Fox Valley Arts Hall of Fame is to remember the famous artists of the past, celebrate the outstanding artists of the present and inspire future artists who might one day themselves become icons of the arts in the Fox Valley. Inductees are honored with plaques mounted in the exciting landmark Paramount Arts Centre in Aurora. An Events Series presents, from time to time, inductees or other accomplished artists in performance or through exhibitions.

The induction ceremony takes place Thursday, April 22, at Walter Payton’s Roundhouse in Aurora.
