The Upper Peninsula’s annual cross-genre music festival presents “Watershed Moment” featuring Aeolus Quartet and Woodland Sky Native American Dance Company.
On Thursday, August 26, at 7:00 pm at Ellwood Mattson Lower Harbor Park, we will musically celebrate the watersheds of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Earth with a program that combines classical, folk, and indigenous music and dance. Musicians from Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Mississippi River, Lake Champlain, and Atlantic Ocean watersheds will come together for this one of a kind collaboration. We are thrilled to present our concerts this year in collaboration with Woodland Sky Native American Dance Company and Aeolus Quartet. Woodland Sky consists of Native American dancers from the Ojibwe, Sioux, Potawatomi and Apache tribes. This award winning group portrays all styles of dancing in this region which include traditional, fancy, jingle, grass and hoop. The Aeolus Quartet was formed in 2008 with a vision to share the permanent power of the string quartet repertoire with wide-ranging audiences. Based in New York City, the Quartet brings an equal dedication to all of its artistic endeavors, placing new and lesser known works side-by-side with the time honored masterworks. We are also happy to welcome back soprano Mary Bonhag and multi-instrumentalist Laurel Premo. The music will include compositions and arrangements by Evan and Laurel Premo as well as traditional Native American song with dance interpretations by Woodland Sky. This Marquette concert is co-sponsored by Northwoods Music Collaborative, Marquette West Rotary, Superior Watershed Partnership and Community Foundation of Marquette County.
