Ahoy Mateys!

KMC presents a celebration of their 98th concert season with a musical voyage of pirate tunes and sea shanties.

KMC was featured with the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra in their production of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" in March, so the fun continues with this evening of food, drink, and music. The evening will feature the chorus as a whole, as well as solo talents within the group.

The performance will be at 7 PM on Friday, April 24th at the Portage Zhang Senior Center, 203 East Centre Avenue. Admission is free, but a freewill offering will be taken to support one of Kalamazoo's longest-singing ensembles. Come celebrate with us! Note: Grog will NOT be served!

STOMP is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, sexy, utterly unique, and appeals to audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered an armful of awards and rave reviews, and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured, and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans. As USA Today says, “STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places.” STOMP. See what all the noise is about.
