Kevin Cole and Friends Celebrate Bonnie Sitter on August 4th

– On August 4th, Creative 360 will host a special afternoon musical soiree celebrating the 94th birthday of Midland accompanist and music director Bonnie Sitter.

Sitter has shared her gift for music with many community groups, including Creative 360, Music Society, Theatre Guild, Teenage Musicals Inc., Midland Center for the Arts, and more, playing more than 100 musical shows. Music Society and Theatre Guild presented a joint Lifetime Achievement Award to Sitter at a Community Theatre Awards event in 2008, citing her 40-plus years of dedication to the organizations.

The musical program will be led by nationally acclaimed pianist Kevin Cole and will feature several of Bonnie’s talented musical friends from the Great Lakes Bay Region. Cole has delighted audiences with a repertoire that includes the best of 20th-century American music. Scholars have called him the “best Gershwin pianist since Gershwin himself.”

“We are so excited to celebrate Bonnie with these incredible artists,” commented Laura Vosejpka, Creative 360 Executive Director. “Bonnie is not only a wonderful supporter of our organization, she is also a dearly loved friend.”

The concert will take place on Sunday, August 4th from 3:00 to 5:00pm. Light refreshments will be served after the concert. Tickets are $20 prepay and $25 at the door. This is a fundraiser, and all proceeds from this event go directly to support Creative 360.
