Celebrating Isle Royale National Park: 85th Anniversary Concert
In 1940, the pristine wilderness of Isle Royale, nestled within Lake Superior, was officially designated a National Park. Join us for a celebratory concert performed by the Keweenaw Symphony Orchestra (KSO) in honor of this momentous occasion.
The KSO will present the world premiere of Libby Meyer's "The Land That Speaks When We've Ears to Listen," featuring vocal soloists Jared Anderson (Tenor) and Lara Neves (Soprano). The program will also include Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 and Four Dance Episodes from Rodeo by Aaron Copland, featuring piano.
Concurrently with the concert, the Rozsa Art Galleries will host a professional art exhibition. This exhibition will showcase the artistic visions of artists-in-residence who have found solace and inspiration within the shores of Isle Royale.
Here's to 85 years of Isle Royale, and the generations to come.
