|
Program Details :
GLAC is partnering with Lawrence Tech University, Oakland University and Washtenaw Community
College every year to present the 'Indo-American Festival of Performing Arts -
Sarovar 2015'. This is a one of a kind music festival held at several
venues in SE Michigan including Oakland University & Washtenaw campus for
the sake of global peace and harmony!
The festival will be held in May & June during the weekends featuring
several concerts by top notch musicians, lecture demonstrations, fusion
music, dance-drama and music concerts. Over 1000 people are estimated to
participate in this fine arts extravaganza which includes food,
entertainment and networking.
We encourage you to become a member and support
your organization!
Construction Update:
The closure of University Drive over I-75 will be starting soon & not
ending until mid-November. Other road projects on one direction of obvious
detours of Featherstone & Squirrel Roads will complicate it further. If you
want to print out map of all suggested alternate detours, you'll need a
color printer.
