Once again, Calvin’s Artist Series offers a variety of musical styles and talents that we are certain will appeal to regular concertgoers and new audiences alike. This seventh season again brings The Artist Series together with the Irving S. Gilmore International Keyboard Festival based in Kalamazoo, a collaboration that we enjoy and to which we very much look forward with anticipation.

The commitment of our season ticket holders, patrons and advertisers makes The Artist Series possible, and we are grateful for all of them. We also thank our state and regional arts advocacy organizations for their assistance in funding The Artist Series and its educational programs.

Our 2007–2008 season offers a delightful early music ensemble with arrangements that speak to the heart and the mind; an innovative exploration of music for voices and instruments; a return visit by a choral favorite; one of America’s leading jazz
ensembles; and a world-renowned piano soloist. This year, we will again precede each concert with an educational outreach that appeals to many age groups and constituencies. We hope you can join us for the entire series, but even if you are able to attend only one or two, I am pleased to share this series with you!
