If you heard Vox GR last summer, you already know. If you missed them, trust us: you won’t want to make that mistake twice.

The extraordinary choral ensemble returns to Baroque on Beaver tomorrow evening for Western Edge of the World, a program that journeys across centuries, cultures, and landscapes through the power of the human voice. From Bach and Haitian composer Sydney Guillaume to the poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay and Gabriel Jackson’s sweeping To the Field of Stars, prepare for an evening of breathtaking music and the kind of harmonies you feel from head to toe.

Join us Wednesday, July 29 at 7:30pm at Gillingham Auditorium at the CMU Biological Station.

Tomorrow night, hear Beaver Island in an entirely new way. 🎶🌊

Join us for the world premiere of Planktonic Dynamics, a new work by composer Dr. Zachary Boyt, commissioned by Baroque on Beaver.

Inspired by ecological and environmental data collected at the CMU Biological Station on Beaver Island, Planktonic Dynamics transforms the movement of Lake Michigan into music. Water currents, changes within the water column, and shifting zooplankton populations become patterns of sound, motion, and energy in a work rooted in the island itself.

This isn't our typical New & Next. It's the first-ever performance of a work created from the rhythms of Beaver Island and Lake Michigan.

📅 Tomorrow, Monday, July 27 | 7:30pm
📍 Beaver Island Community Center
