W H O I S E L L N O R A?

Ellnora Krannert was an open-hearted woman with a vision: an inviting space where everyone was welcome and could naturally meet and merge by way of the arts. Her revolutionary philosophy was instrumental in the design of Krannert Center, and since 1969 it has been our guiding principle in bringing a global community together to share life-affirming experiences—including festivals packed with guitar goodness from around the planet.
