MSU Jazz Orchestra

Sat. Feb. 9 at 8pm and Sat. Feb. 23 at 10pm on 90.5 FM | WKAR and MSU Jazz bring you one of the traditional year-opening highlights from MSU's College of Music.

It's Michigan State's annual commemorative concert and presentation celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Spirituals, Prayer and Protest will also include a special tribute to Detroit’s very own Aretha Franklin, featuring memorable tunes from Motown. The program was curated by the newly formed College of Music Color Me Music student organization.

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer? Please consider upgrading your current monthly gift.
