Global Instruments, Local Hands: An immersive evening with Michael Ward-Bergeman
Play alongside the artist in the first half, then settle in for a full concert performance.

World-touring artist Michael Ward-Bergeman brings his collection of instruments gathered from cultures around the globe to Evansville Arts Center for one immersive evening.
Doors open at 6:30 PM. The first half of the evening puts you up close with Michael’s collection, and guests will even get the chance to play alongside him. After intermission, Michael takes the stage for a full concert performance.

This is a rare opportunity to see, hear, and touch instruments from around the world, guided by an artist who has spent his career collecting them.
