Join us for the sounds of Summer on Maple Street!

Karen Bridges and Clint Thomson

Join us for an unforgettable evening of classical music with Joel Styzens and Herine Coetzee Koschak from Relax Your Ears as they perform a unique blend of music on the hammered dulcimer, cello, and piano.

Joel Styzens is an award-winning and critically acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, composer, recording artist, producer, educator, and hearing conservation advocate. Known for his expertise on piano, hammered dulcimer, drums, percussion, and guitar, Styzens has toured nationally and internationally, with appearances on NPR, WGN, Fox News, and in publications like Time Out, The National Music Examiner, and The UK Hearing Times.

In 2006, Styzens experienced a life-altering moment when a sudden, persistent ringing in his ears (tinnitus) ended his career as a professional drummer. This challenging experience led him to discover his voice as a composer. As he recovered, Styzens began crafting his own acoustic music, blending his rhythmic jazz background with the dynamic emotion of classical and world music. The result is a neo-classical sound that’s both texturally rich and emotionally expressive.

Join us for the final night of our music series, where every note respects both space and sound—an unforgettable evening at LHS.

The Music on Maple Street concert series is made possible with support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency and the JCS Fund of the DuPage Foundation.
