Dennos Museum Center Announces 2022-23 Concerts & Educational Programs

The Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan Colleges announces concerts and educational programs in Milliken Auditorium for the 2022-2023 academic year. Concerts are supported by the Osterlin Performance Endowment, the Robert T. and Ruth Haidt Hughes Family Trust, the Michigan Council of Arts and Cultural Affairs, Arts Midwest, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The fall lineup includes a reschedule of local favorites, The Sweet Water Warblers, from January, along with bluesman Larry McCray, Nobuntu from Zimbabwe, and Cuban-Canadian singer-songwriter Alex Cuba. The spring schedule presents Enter the Haggis. More spring dates may be released pending routing schedules. 

Nobuntu and Enter the Haggis will each present an educational concert, which typically runs about 45 minutes on the morning after their public concert and allows students to learn about music from around the world. In addition, the Dennos Museum Center is working on details for an educational residency with New-York-based JazzReach in April that will put professional, working musicians in front of several K-12 and college audiences.

"We are particularly excited to bring back K-12 performance programs this year," Jason Dake, Deputy Director of Museum Programs and Learning says, "It has been a long three years without them due to the pandemic, and we are looking forward to welcoming local teachers and their students for some outstanding programs."

Tickets are available at dennosmuseum.org. Dennos members receive great discounts on all concert tickets.
