Ensemble brings world class musicianship and advocacy to Michigan Legacy Art Park.
Both a performance powerhouse and a non-profit music education ensemble, Archipelago Project will inspire and awe their Summer Sounds concert audience at Michigan Legacy Art Park on Friday, July 29 at 7:00 p.m. Hosted by Crystal Mountain Four Seasons Club, the concert is the fourth performance in the Art Park’s 2011 Summer Sounds concert series. Tickets to see Archipelago Project perform are $10 per adult, $8 per Art Park member, and are free for kids 17 years and younger. The concert takes place at Michigan Legacy Art Park’s open air amphitheatre, located on the grounds of Crystal Mountain Resort & Spa in Thompsonville, Michigan.
Performing an eclectic mix of musical styles from around the globe and different eras, including classical, polka, marches, jazz, big band, swing, salsa, funk and even pop classics, Archipelago Project takes the audience for a ride on a musical roller coaster that they won’t soon forget. In addition to touring the United States, Austria, Germany and Venezuela, the group is dedicated to promoting music education in public schools and performs one to two week residencies at middle schools and high schools across the United States. Most recently, Archipelago Project has performed tours and school residencies in Hartford and Stamford, Connecticut along with a school residency in Beverly Hills, Michigan. In addition, group members have developed an ongoing music education program in Traverse City, where young, talented musicians from TC area schools learn from professional musicians.
