Summary
The 2015 Baroque on Beaver was announced for 24 July–2 August as a ten-day classical and jazz program. The advance report calls it BICAA’s signature event and describes new support from SpartanNash and William Hill Estate Winery.1
Announced sponsorship and programming
SpartanNash was announced as underwriter of the 1 August Music: A Matter of Life and Death program with Festival Chorus and Orchestra. William Hill was identified as beverage sponsor for planned 24–25 July benefit jazz performances by Pete Siers, Paul Ketter, and Terry Lower. The report directs ticket inquiries to the Beaver Island Community Center.1
The Courier source is advance publicity, while the forum sources add contemporaneous institutional opening notices and one post-event audience response. Together they support the 2015 season and opening program, but do not establish sponsorship payment, complete attendance, or every final concert detail.
Open questions
- Which final program or review documents the 2015 repertoire and performers?
- Did the announced sponsors and benefit events proceed as described?
