Andy Colwell, Penn State Department of Public Information Visitors stroll through part of the H.O. Smith Botanic Gardens at The Arboretum at Penn State during the facility's open-house social on June 19.

The Penn State Arboretum will turn into The Sound Garden from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 25, as musicians from Penn State and the surrounding community gather there to perform music in a variety of genres. The concert is free and open to the public, and free Creamery ice cream will be served.

Initially scheduled to take place on Oct. 18, the event was postponed due to inclement weather.

Performances include a piano and violin duet by Adam Jacob and Matt Weaver, State College Area High School Brass Choir, local bands The Element, Papa Papaya, and Havoc Jack; singing groups Blue in the FACE and Savoir Faire; banjo player Mark Blashford, and others.

The concert, the first event of its kind to be held at the Arboretum, is the culminating project for six students and Schreyer Scholars in EDTHP 234H, Leadership Jumpstart. The students' goal in holding the concert is to draw Penn State students and State College residents to the Arboretum to discover its beauty and underlying missions.
