The Glen Arbor Arts Center celebrates human handwork in its By Hand project. On April 20, musicians Martha Meek and Laura Hood will talk about the value and joy of making music by hand. Meek is the director of the Martha Meek Music Studio in Suttons Bay. Hood teaches music, and chairs The Leelanau School art department. The program begins at 1 pm.

Contemporary music is often about consuming, rather than creating, and more often the result of digital enhancements and electronic additions. In this program Meek and Hood will talk about what happens in the brain when people make music, how playing an instrument – whether stringed, brass or produced with the vocal chords – enhances and enriches life. A group of Leelanau School music students will also take part in the discussion, and talk about their experience as hand music makers.

This By Hand program is free. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. The By Hand project runs March 29 – May 30, and comprises a series of visual art exhibitions and community conversations.

Musical portraits by celebrated composers will transport you to the distant regions of the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Southern Europe and more in this smorgasbord-concert of distinct musical cultures.
The concert will present works such as Mozart’s Abduction from Seraglio and Turkish March, Rossini’s Italian Girl in Algiers, Turina’s Five Gypsy Dances, and Sibelius’ incidental score for the play Belshazzar’s Feast.
The highlight of the concert is Marcus Paus’ Portrait of Zhou for Flute and Orchestra. Paus is the most prominent contemporary Norwegian composer of our time known for promoting works that are influenced by folk music and non-Western classical music, in this case Chinese music.
GLCO is proud to welcome an award-winning flutist Nancy Stagnitta. Nancy is a leading crossover artist as both classical flutist and jazz artist. Her passion, versatility, and elegant artistry have led to concert engagements in Africa, Europe, Asia, and across the U.S. In 2018, she gave the Asian premier of David Amram’s Giants of the Night Flute Concerto with the China National Symphony in Beijing.

You know all the songs we listened to growing up that influenced our own music or inspired us to write something, make something, be something? That’s this album. It’s a nod to the female musicians out there paving the way for us. Female inspired music that we accidentalized. It’s the best of both worlds. We’ve been promising this album for five years so here we go…cannot wait to play it for you!

VIP Seating includes prime seats (first two rows), a meet and greet, no line, early admittance and exclusive gift bag. VIP ticket holders can also sign up at the merchandise table for a digital download of the show!

Texas Lifestyle Magazine chose The Accidentals as the “band to see” at Austin City Limits, SXSW, calling them defiant, young – powerful, and undaunted.”
