🎹🎷🎶 Music brings us together!
While in town for Saturday night’s performance at The Block, Jeff Haas and his Quintet took time this morning to connect with over 150 students from Marquette and North Muskegon through Building Bridges with Music, Jeff’s nonprofit dedicated to promoting open-mindedness and respect through music.

Through interactive live music, storytelling, and activities, students explored empathy, teamwork, and seeing the world from different perspectives. Before long, students were up and dancing, bringing the room to life and showing just how powerfully music can bring people together!

🎟️ Few seats remain for the Saturday night performance! Tickets on our website.
