Butler University is consistently ranked as the #1 Regional University in the Midwest by US News & World Report, and its Jordan College of the Arts is particularly renowned. Butler’s picturesque campus, in a residential neighborhood a few miles north of the city center, offers world-class facilities, all within close proximity to one another. Guests can choose to stay on campus in Fairview House, a modern residence hall directly across from the concert venues, or at our main conference hotel – the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis in the heart of downtown.
We hope you will come be a part of the 54th annual IDRS conference and enjoy all that Butler and Indianapolis have to offer!
Co-hosts Pam Ajango (Oboe) and Doug Spaniol (Bassoon) look forward to welcoming you to the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana – a city known around the world for auto racing, and acclaimed as one of America’s top cities for hosting major events. Indy is easy to reach by air or car and boasts a flourishing culinary and brewing scene, thriving cultural institutions, the esteemed Indianapolis Symphony and Chamber Orchestras, cool and unique neighborhoods, and its legendary “Hoosier Hospitality.”
