How early membership helps members: GLAC is a member based organization and our rates are one of the lowest
with one of the best programming in the country! Other organizations charge
our yearly rate just for one family concert!
Over the last decade, our membership rates has stayed around same even
though our operating costs have gone up by almost 50% --augmenting the
difference with state grants, corporate sponsorship, advertisements and
collaborations. Also, our programming depends on your membership - the
earlier you become a member, the better the quality and quantity of
concerts!
Are you a rasika? Show your support by becoming a member EVEN if you
think you can't attend all concerts. Support GLAC to support Music in
Michigan!
Thanks in advance for your continued support. Looking forward to seeing you
as a member this year.
Musically yours,
Team GLAC | Visit our

The Great Lakes Aradhana Committee or GLAC is
a premier non-profit organization committed to preserving, presenting and
promoting arts in the Great Lakes region.
Our mission is to promote classical arts in
our community for the cause of enrichment, participation and fellowship for art
aficionados in Michigan by bringing quality events on a regular basis with a
bias on membership satisfaction. GLAC helps the community in having arts
programs that meet the needs of an aging population, providing opportunities in
the arts for people with disabilities, having programs for migrant workers and
immigrants and programs on arts in healing/healthcare programs.
GLAC strives in perpetuating the unique
cultural heritage into the mainstream American diaspora with it's events well
attended by people of all ethnicities from the Great Lakes states of the USA and
Canada.

incorporated in 2006 as a non-profit art resource in SE Michigan by a group of people who
truly appreciate, enjoy and want to promote one of the greatest cultural
traditions which has been passed down over the generations.
