Vocalist singing on stage while accompanied by piano

Join us for a thoroughly enjoyable evening of music, poetry, puppets, film, dance, and theater in a celebration of languages from around the world. Thanks to our program that provides English translations of every performance, you can listen to moving poetry in Latin or Italian, tap your foot to songs in Korean and French, and laugh along with some puppet theater in Spanish. Take a break from your studies and bask in the beauty of the diversity of languages represented at Grand Valley. Appetizers will be available in the lobby of the Cook-Dewitt Center starting at 6:00 pm, with the performance starting at 6:30 pm in the auditorium.
