Summary
The 2014 Baroque on Beaver season was advertised for 25 July–3 August and described as the festival’s thirteenth season. A Charlevoix Courier grant report identifies BICAA as its sponsor and records a $6,500 Community Foundation award to support the festival.1
Infrastructure and public program
The report says the award was intended in part to acquire equipment and materials for a temporary band shell for an outdoor A Star Spangled Evening, planned to open a yearlong national-anthem bicentennial observance. It characterizes the anticipated outdoor setup as accommodating more than 400 musicians and audience members. This is funding and planning evidence, not confirmation that the specific performance took place or achieved that attendance.1
Open questions
- What final program establishes the performances, venues, and attendance?
- Did the temporary band shell get acquired and used as planned?
- Which of the scheduled concerts and venues ultimately took place as posted?
