Pull on your flip flops or tennis shoes and come experience our Young Listeners Concert at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts (400 Culver Street) Thursday, August 11, at 1:00 p.m.  Designed for 'young listeners' (but enjoyed by all ages!) this special early afternoon program features The Perugino Quartet of Grand Valley State University. The event in the SCA lobby is free of charge.

Members of the Perugino Quartet are annual performers at the Chamber Music Festival.  This special children's concert features cello and violins.

Children will have opportunities to ask questions, get an "up close and personal" view of the instruments, and really dive into the listening experience. Think you don't like classical? Think again! This engaging concert will have young (and older!) listeners tapping their toes and bobbing their heads. The concert is presented in partnership with the Chamber Music Festival of Saugatuck.
