Take Kalamazoo’s Performing Arts Beyond the Concert Hall

4 Min Read

Every concert is a singular moment — months of rehearsal, years of training, and the work of dozens of musicians coming together for a single performance. Public Media Network records and distributes those moments so that everyone in Kalamazoo can experience them, not just those who can be in the room.

In Performance documents live concerts by the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra, Kalamazoo Philharmonia, WMU Concert Bands, and WMU Marching Band — producing professional multi-camera recordings with closed captioning and audio description, and distributing them free of charge across cable television, on-demand streaming, Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, YouTube, and the PMN+ app.

Your support keeps this work going

PMN makes preservation possible. It is immensely rewarding to know that the Junior Symphony and the Philharmonia are contributing to the vibrancy of Kalamazoo that PMN so aptly documents.

— Andrew Koehler, music director, Kalamazoo Philharmonia & Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra
