Kalamazoo New Year's Fest will feature a newly-formed classical group among the dozens of acts set for Saturday. It's called Heartside Harmony, and it includes top regional orchestral players among its ranks. Founder and violist Arturo Ziraldo talks to Cara Lieurance about the group, which aims to use music as a bridge to reach people of all walks and circumstances of life.
