Rehearsals are underway for STARS Faculty Recital on April 10, at 7:30 pm, in beautiful St. Mary’s Pro-Cathedral. The combination of talented musicians and excellent acoustics in this lovely venue will make this a highlight of the STARS year. The concert will be repeated in Cedarville for music-lovers in our ‘southern end’ at 4:00 pm at the First Union Church.

Music lessons have begun in Cedarville at Les Cheneaux Community Schools. Through this newly formed partnership with the school, The Soo Theatre, EUP’s regional, non-profit arts organization, will be able to provide easier access to arts instruction for students in the southern part of the Eastern Upper Peninsula. Violin, cello, and bass teacher Maggie Twining and violin instructor Benjamin Gulder are currently available to teach strings in the Cedarville area, with lessons from these instructors already underway. Piano and voice are just a few of the other offerings we aspire to bring soon to our neighbors to the south.
STARS Annual Dance Show “Get Rhythm” will be held on Saturday, May 9th on our very own STP stage. The program will feature over fifty dance students of Jenna Perry, Kimmi Jodoin, Rachel Smart, and Alison Cheney, in ballet, tap, and jazz, as well as acro and hula-hoop. The show will be high-energy and fun, anchored by a tap duet by Jenna Perry and Kishe Wallace.
STARS Festival Orchestra Concert will take the stage on Sunday, May 10th at 4pm with Dottie Case and Maggie Twining directing. The STARS Youth Orchestra will welcome special guests from the JKL Bahweting Orchestras.
