Great Music, Sunset, Weather = Perfect

Holding a concert on the top of a mountain on Lake Michigan can be risky if the wind picks up, but that was not the case last night. The winds were calm, the air was warm and all 300 guests relaxed to outstanding brass music as the sun gently set over the Manitou Islands.

The evening started at 6:00 pm with a silent auction of items such as a spa day for two at The Homestead’s Spa Amira, golf for two at the Manitou Passage, a Glen Lake cruise, cooking lessons at Blu, and more. Over $5000 was raised that will go directly to the Glen Arbor Art Association.

Guests then took the chair lift to the top of the mountain to a picturesque setting for the concert. Western Brass Quintet played classical and jazz brass pieces as well as modern popular numbers such as Danny Boy. The five performers are all professors in the School of Music at Western Michigan University and have performed around the world.

“It doesn’t get any better than this,” is a comment we heard more than once last night. The combination of perfect weather, a fabulous setting, and a polished performance made the night a classic Leelanau summer experience.
