CMU Music School's Opus on the move to Midland

For the first time in 14 years, Central Michigan University's annual School of Music fundraiser, Opus, will not be held in Mt. Pleasant. The upscale fundraiser will be taking the show to the Midland Center for the Arts next year for Opus XV and features some of the most talented music students at the university. The students must compete to be part of the concert. "We wanted to profile the music students in another location in order to provide additional opportunities," Christine Alwood CMU director of stewardship and donor relations said. CMU School of Music students perform at this annual event which usually attracts close to 300 donors including state and local politicians. The event is an opportunity for the university to thank contributors with a showcase of talent. Proceeds go towards the School of Music endowment funding scholarships, equipment and travel for music students.
