Thank you to everyone who joined us last weekend to celebrate an unforgettable finale to your West Michigan Symphony’s 85th season, featuring violinist Tessa Lark. On Friday, Music Director Scott Speck led a showcase of American artistry, performing iconic works by Copland, alongside Michael Torke’s Sky—a piece written especially for our guest violinist. We are deeply grateful to our generous concert sponsors, Macatawa Bank; artist sponsor, Friends of Tessa Lark; media sponsor, Blue Lake Public Radio; and our season sponsors, Mike & Kay Olthoff. On Saturday at The Block, Tessa mesmerized the audience with her unique fusion of classical and bluegrass, creating a one-of-a-kind musical experience. Be sure to check out the exciting lineup for next season—featuring the newly announced Audience Choice program! Will you be joining us? Season tickets on sale now.
