Glen Arbor Art Association features “Mostly Music” series

From staff reports

The “Mostly Music” series at the Glen Arbor Art Association (GAAA) is sort of a winter extension of the Manitou Music Festival … but not quite. Actually it could be called “Concerts with Benefits.” Smaller groups (1 or 2 artists) perform in the GAAA gallery, but also spend some time talking about their music. The gallery provides a more intimate setting than our larger outdoor concerts that allows the audience much closer contact with the musicians.

“Mostly Music” will be hosted by Bob Foskett, who programmed jazz radio in Chicago for 30 years and is now a DJ for Friday Morning Jazz at WNMC in Traverse City. Programs will be roughly 60 percent music, 40 percent discussion. There are programs in January, February and March and if you enjoy watching and listening to live music, “Mostly Music” provides an opportunity to get some “behind-the-scenes” information too. Plus it’s another way to escape cabin fever in the throes of winter.

Admission is $10 and paid reservations are recommended due to limited seating capacity. Reserve your seats at glenarborart.org or by calling 231-334-6112. Based on availability, you can also purchase tickets at the door.

All concerts are Sundays at 7 p.m.
