Marie, thank you for asking.

The concert is being held at our beautiful Community Center Auditorium. Please come and partake of this musical event Friday, March 2nd at 12:00pm.

The Cummings Quartet is a professional performance group, led by the new director of the Dorothy Gerber Strings Program - Dr. David Reimer. You may recognize his name from the Baroque on Beaver Festival.

Dr. Reimer has been teaching the strings classes at BICS this year. He visits the island on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since he finds so much value in offering exceptional education, he spends every Thursday night at the Erin Motel, and wakes up early on Friday morning to lead an advanced strings class at 7:30AM.

What a gift Dr. Reimer, the Dorothy Gerber Foundation, and Beaver Island Community School are offering to our students.

Thank you! thank you! thank you! =D> =D> =D>
