Project Crescendo!
Our signature outreach program supports music education in the Lansing Public School District by providing instruments, guest performances, and exceptional programming for students in grades K-8. We work directly with music teachers to identify and meet their classroom needs.
Festival Program
The Festival Program gives musicians of all ages and abilities the opportunity to perform and receive a yearly evaluation in a non-competitive environment. Participation promotes music study, stimulates interest in music literature and encourages participants to reach a high standard of achievement. The Festival Cup Award offers additional incentives for continued participation in music study.
Meet the Morning Glory Singers!
Looking for a time to sing? We are a low pressure, non-sacred group of nice women, and we welcome you to our group! We are a non-auditioned group, just come as you are. All types of music are represented, from popular to standards to newly written music.
We are a part of Lansing Matinee Musicale, a civic group which sponsors and supports the arts in greater Lansing. We are also committed to civic involvement and we sing at retirement homes and other community events.
Your time to sing starts at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 26 (until 12:30) at Eastminster Presbyterian Church, 1315 Abbot Road, East Lansing. Feel free to attend any Tuesday following. Chrisann Lowe (director) can be reached at 517-930-0975 or at Bestpea57@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns.
