Cleary University

Cleary University and the Arthur Secunda Museum are proud to welcome Michigan State University’s Jazz Nonet I, the school’s top-tier, nine-piece jazz ensemble featuring the most advanced students in the Jazz Studies program through the university’s School of Music. The entire community is invited to this free concert Thursday, Nov. 5 on Cleary University’s campus in Livingston County.
Dr. Professor Leonard King Jr, a Detroit-born and renowned drummer, vocalist, composer and bandleader, is the evening’s special guest performer. Dr. King’s musical career spans more than six decades, beginning in Detroit where he started his own band at the age of 15. He is known for blending traditional jazz, soul and contemporary arrangements. 
The evening begins at 6 pm with an Arthur Secunda Museum art exhibit, an opportunity to view some of this internationally renowned artist’s work and learn about Secunda and the museum, where Secunda’s largest collection of art is on display on the walls of Cleary University. A jazz musician himself, Secunda often drew inspiration from music in his artwork. The exhibition will showcase a selection of his musically inspired works.
The concert takes place from 7 pm to 8 pm in Cleary Commons (first building on the right as you enter the college campus in Howell, off Grand River Avenue and west of Latson Road).
Jazz Nonet I brings dynamic big-band energy, led by conductor Randy Napolean, associate professor of Jazz Guitar and associate director of Jazz Studies at Michigan State University’s School of Music. The ensemble features bass, drums, guitar, piano, baritone saxophone, tenor saxophone, alto saxophone, trumpet and trombone, performing a repertoire that spans jazz classics, contemporary works and improvisational showcases. 

This is an opportunity to experience an evening of world-class live jazz in your neighborhood and the premier of Livingston Jazz Fest 2027 at Cleary University. Two more jazz concerts are scheduled in early 2027.
The concert is free. Donations are welcome to support the continuation of these concert series.
DTE Foundation is a proud sponsor of this concert.

<h2>A Chilling Victorian Penny Dreadful for One Weekend Only</h2>
BRIGHTON, MI — The Brighton High School Dramatic Arts Program invites audiences to step back in time for a spine-tingling weekend of gothic mystery, ghost stories, and murder with their upcoming production of A Spirited Manor. Written in the theatrical style of a classic Victorian penny dreadful, this captivating murder mystery takes the stage for five performances only, November 6 through November 8, at the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts.
When grieving widow Clara O’Hare moves into a new home to escape the painful memories of her late husband, she quickly discovers she is far from alone. Desperate for answers, Clara attends a séance at a remote country estate, surrounded by an eccentric cast of strangers. But as the lights dim and the séance begins, something sinister makes its presence known. Clara must team up with the mysterious medium Wesley Lowenherz to unravel the manor’s dark history and uncover what the spirits are dying to tell them—before another life is lost.
A Spirited Manor is a full-length murder mystery. Parents and patrons should note that while violence is kept off-stage, the production contains unseen depictions of murder and gothic horror themes.

North America’s largest rodent is alive and well and has been seen in the Detroit area. Beavers were hunted almost to extinction in the 1800’s, but over the last century they have made an amazing comeback. Retired Sterling Heights naturalist Gordon Lonie spent two summers photographing a family of beavers that made their den along the Clinton River. With videos, photos and entertaining stories, Gordon will bring you into the world of these nocturnal creatures. Be prepared to learn, laugh and wonder at these industrious animals.
Join us at First Presbyterian Church, 300 E. Grand River Ave, Brighton, MI 48116. Meetings are free and open to the public. All are welcome.
