Performers wait in the green room before "A Night of Mandolin Music: Jim Richter Presents the Midwest Mandolin Festival" at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on July 10, 2026. "A lot of times when you do a faculty concert, you're only playing to the students, and that's fun, but this is really fun because it's open to the public and people come," said mandolin performer Don Julin.
