A History of the Performance Series
Founded in 2010, the South Haven Performance Series is an all-volunteer community based organization dedicated to providing a rich mixture of professional music and the performing arts for residents and visitors of South Haven, along with performance art education opportunities for local youth. In its short history the Series has made a positive impact on the cultural fabric of the South Haven community. Suggestions for future concerts are welcomed. Please email them to tlrennersh@gmail.com. Selections are made a year ahead and typically in the Fall for the next season.
