The final event in the 2002 Celebration of Diversity is a cultural experience. The Diversity Concert will be performed by the Southfield Philharmonic with the assistance of the Cantata Academy. The program will include: Vivaldi's Gloria, Bach's Suite #3 and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony

We celebrate the arts because of the powerful ways in which art and culture enrich our lives. This is especially true for our youth. Music has been demonstrated to have a powerful effect on the learning abilities, educational creativity and expressiveness of our children. Concerts are also wonderful opportunities for emotional growth and bonding through family engagement.

Our Diversity Concert program is designed to explore the musical expression and interpretation of faith, mental inventiveness and the depth of human emotions. With the generous assistance of our sponsors, we have invited a number of students and their families from Southfield's elementary schools to join us in this cultural celebration of our diversity.

The Southfield Philharmonic, now in its 2nd season, is under the musical direction of Joseph Striplin with management services provided by Young Audiences of Michigan. It has established a reputation for the highest qulity of musical performance.
