Each concert features two ensembles – a youth-led or emerging group and a more established jazz or improvisational group,” said Joseph Darling, a music curator who conceived the series and is a PFPP board member. UPCOMING PERFORMANCES IN THE SERIES:
The grant will allow the PFPP Arts & Culture Committee to present free family-friendly programs with gifted Detroit musicians, visual artists, poets, and storytellers and outfit the Log Cabin for art shows, concerts and other cultural activities. The committee is also selecting local arts and culture groups to engage and present through its innovative Community Arts micro-grant competition. |
