Featuring oud, violin, electric bass, synthesizer and world percussion, the Worlds Quartet masterfully blends rhythms, sounds, and textures from across the globe with world music-inspired original compositions.

With vibraphone, percussion, bass, piano, and vocals, the all-women salsa sextet presents an explosive and joyful show that encourages dancing and singing as well as reflection.

Calling all singers, poets, jugglers, storytellers, and rappers of Ypsilanti! Come try out that new piece you just wrote, dust off some old favorites, or grab a drink and find out what your neighbors have been working on.

Rhythm of the Feet takes you through the history and come-up of this uniquely Detroit dance style, with high energy footwork performed by the House of Jit collective.

Kicks, wiggles, spinning on the floor, plus fancy footwork paired with the music of Funk and Techno give us Detroit’s dance style called Jit. Join House of Jit founder and Jit master Michael Manson along with Queen Gabby, aka the Queen of Jit, as they perform this homegrown dance style for people of all ages.

Led by Grammy-nominated violinist and composer Jeremy Kittel, Kittel & Co. inhabits the space between classical and acoustic roots, Celtic and bluegrass aesthetics, and folk and jazz sensibilities.
