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 membership page.

Our Mission & Vision

Vanakkam, Vandanam, Namaste and Welcome to GLAC! 

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.
