SUMMARY:The Sound Garden Project: Fivemind Reeds
DESCRIPTION:The Cheboygan Area Arts Council is collaborating with Interlochen Public Radio’s 2025 Sound Garden Project to bring Fivemind Reeds to Cheboygan from July 14-19. The Sound Garden Project’s mission is to plant classical music in unexpected places as the featured musicians reimagine a 21st-century performance experience. In their ambitious hands\, a concert becomes an event\, and an audience becomes a community of inspiration\, understanding and hope. During their residency week\, Fivemind Reeds (a quintet of reed instruments) will perform a series of free\, public pop-up events in the Cheboygan area\, such as at the Farmers’ Markets\, the Art Fair\, in public parks and at downtown business locations. Each of these events will be short 30-45 minute appearances\, leading up to the final event.  All events are designed to be interactive with the community. \nTheir final concert event will take place on Saturday\, July 19\, 7:00pm at the historic Cheboygan Opera House. All events are free to the public and do not require reservations or tickets. The Sound Garden Project will be a unique opportunity to bring classical music out into our community and to break down the stereotypes of so-called elite music. We hope the experience will also inspire young people to consider studying an instrument\, either through private instruction or in their school’s music program. \nFivemind Reeds is a Los Angeles-based reed quintet with saxophonist Alexander Lee\, clarinetists Darren Liou and Kristine Llanderal\, bassoonist Matthew Rasmussen\, and oboist Thacher Schreiber. Formed in 2021 at UCLA’s Herb Alpert School of Music\, Fivemind has since performed in several concerts and recitals throughout Los Angeles and the United States. Most recently\, Fivemind was a two-time ensemble-in-residence for Interlochen Public Radio’s Sound Garden Project\, in other Northern Michigan communities. The quintet maintains a colorful and diverse repertoire\, from old masterworks by Mozart and Grieg to landmark contemporary works by composers such as David Biedenbender\, Marc Mellits\, and Jeff Scott. \nThis event is partially funded by an Arts and Humanities Grant.

SUMMARY:Missoula Children's Theatre's TREASURE ISLAND
DESCRIPTION:TREASURE ISLAND- The Missoula Children’s Theatre takes pride in presenting TREASURE ISLAND\, an original adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s epic novel. Young Jim Hawkins\, a mischievous lad\, lives with his Mother and six Sisters in a seaside village on the coast of Maine. The year is 1782 and the American War for Revolution is in its last days. Longing for adventure\, Jim comes under the hypnotic spell of the legendary pirate\, Long John Silver. While waiting tables in the family Inn\, Jim finds a treasure map and\, with the villainous Silver as his seeming mentor\, sails uncharted seas with only the ragged map and a flock of Gulls as guides. Always up for adventure\, Jim’s Ruffian friends say farewell to their Mariner parents and serve as cabin boys for Silver and his band of hilarious (although unsavory) Pirate types. Once on the island\, nights are sleepless as true colors are revealed in our hero’s quest for the proverbial happy ending. Then – at last – the treasure is found and hand in hand we’re homeward bound. \nShows are Saturday\, June 28th at 2pm and 6pm. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. \nThis event is partially funded by an Arts and Humanities Grant.

SUMMARY:OKAN at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival (A2SF) and Top of the Park
DESCRIPTION:OKAN brings their passionate Afro-Cuban jazz to an A2SF stage this summer! Fusing their Afro-Cuban roots with jazz\, folk\, and global rhythms in songs about immigration\, resistance\, and love.

With vocals in Spanish\, Yoruba\, and Spanglish\, OKAN is led by Cuban-born violinist and vocalist Elizabeth Rodriguez and percussionist and vocalist Magdelys Savigne\, both Grammy and Latin-Grammy nominees. Building on their Juno-winning sophomore Espiral (2020) and Juno-nominated debut Sombras (2019)\, their most recent release Okantomi\, winner of a 2024 Juno Award\, passionately advocates for freedom of expression\, queer rights\, and gender equality through what CBC Music calls “joy as a form of resistance.” Charged with the profound power of their ancestry\, OKAN alchemizes Lacumi chants and Santeria rhythms with virtuosic jazz\, classical performances\, and indie-pop hooks to connect with audiences on a deep emotional level. Don’t miss their mesmerizing harmonies and virtuosic musicianship at Top of the Park! \nThis event is partially funded by and Arts and Humanities Grant.
