A benefit concert featuring the artists & stories shaping 2026
Step into the creative heart of Macon Creek as Beacon Arts Michigan launches its 2026 Summer Concert Series, Tales, Legends & Legacy, with a vibrant Collage Concert—a celebration of the artists, sounds, and stories that will shape the season ahead.
Beacon Arts Michigan exists to enrich rural communities across Michigan by presenting high-quality artistic performances and educational outreach. Rooted in a legacy of regional chamber music and community engagement, the organization brings premier artists to underserved areas in both the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. Through collaborative programming—including concerts, youth education, artist residencies, and commissioned works—Beacon Arts Michigan fosters artistic exchange, celebrates Michigan’s cultural diversity, and strengthens connections between artists and communities. Its purpose is to ensure that the transformative power of the arts remains accessible, relevant, and deeply rooted in regional heritage.
United by a shared mission to expand access to the arts, Beacon Arts Michigan and Macon Creek join forces to present Tales, Legends & Legacy, inviting audiences into a world shaped by stories—those we inherit, those we imagine, and those we create together. Through concerts, masterclasses, workshops, and interdisciplinary collaborations, this series explores how music and art carry our histories, illuminate our present, and spark the narratives that will define our future.
