The Music House is proud to welcome Interlochen Guitarist Matthew Cochran in concert on Friday March 27 at 7:00PM

Classical guitarist and composer Matthew Cochran blends elements of romanticism, minimalism, and traditional music to create what No Depression describes as “The pure emotive quality of Cochran’s music pulls you into its embrace and empties your heart with every note.” Join Matthew Cochran for an intimate concert of his own compositions for solo guitar, including modern classics of the guitar repertoire, “Two Young Fish” and “Three Non-Algorithmic Human Interactions,” which garnered praise from This is Classical Guitar describes for its “a wide variety of textures from melodic exchanges, intricate kaleidoscopic grooves, to spacious mediations.” Cochran will also perform brand-new works, including the composer’s first-ever performance of his mammoth, virtuosic sonata, “Colossal Wreck.”

Tickets can be purchased online at MyNorth Tickets, musichouse.org or reserved by calling 231-938-9300.

We hope to see you there!

WSH Presents "Little Shop of Horrors"
Presented by TC West Senior High School MUSIC
March 13-15 and 20-22, 2026

Based on the 1960 film by Roger Corman and featuring a book by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Ashman, Little Shop follows meek plant store attendant Seymour, his co-worker crush Audrey, her sadistic dentist of a boyfriend and the man-eating plant that threatens them and the world as we know it.

Alluvion Arts presents We Will Not Whisper, an exhibition featuring 19 female visual artists, collectively responding to the ongoing erosion of civil liberties and democratic institutions in America. 

The exhibition opens to the public on March 7,  5-7 pm inside Commongrounds, 414 E. 8th Street, Traverse City, Michigan, on the second floor. Artwork is exhibited on both the first and second floors of Commongrounds and varies in technique from painting to collage to assemblage and fiber.

The exhibit was conceived in early 2025, when a group of Northern Michigan artists began to talk about the emotional and practical impacts of recent federal social and civic policy changes on their studio practices. Weeks of conversation lead to the idea of creating an exhibition that employs the visual arts to take on and reflect upon these difficult times. 

Exhibit Hours: Monday - Saturday 8am-5pm

Showcasing works in wood, paper, and fiber, featured artists will present furniture, textiles, paper assemblages, basketry, and more in both functional and decorative creations.

Exhibit runs from March 14 - April 18
Tuesday - Saturday from 10am-4pm
Sunday from 12pm-4pm

Artist talk April 18-2:00

After winning the National Morel Hunting Championship five years in a row, Anthony Williams retired from competitive picking to become the "Expert in Residence" for the National Morel Festival.

Inspired by speakeasy glamour and burlesque flair, this one-of-a-kind cabaret features daring reimaginings of musical theatre favorites, cheeky gender-bending, and performances that lean fully into mature themes. This is musical theatre after dark — irreverent, unapologetic, and delightfully inappropriate.

The night at Hotel Indigo also includes a costume contest, audience interaction, and plenty of opportunities to raise a glass for your favorite nonprofit community theatre, Old Town Playhouse.

Dress for a speakeasy. Come for the mischief. Stay for the cause. Doors open one hour before showtime. Cash bar service will be available.
