Aren't you glad it's almost the weekend?
Here are some cool events coming up that you can check out.
On Saturday, the Michigan Philharmonic presents "Overture For Our Earth" to celebrate Earth Day.
The concert will be at the Salem High School Auditorium in Canton at 7:30 PM with a pre-concert talk at 6:45 PM.
The Birmingham Concert Band is performing Sunday, April 23rd as they celebrate their 45th season.
The free concert is at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer Birmingham at 3:00 PM.
April is Arab-American Heritage Month.
Plan a visit this weekend to the Arab-American National Museum in Dearborn, the first and only museum of its kind in the United States devoted to recording the Arab-American experience.
Ongoing exhibits include, Contributions from the Arab world, Coming to America, and Making an Impact.
And for all the Broadway fans out there, the one and only Audra McDonald is coming to Hill Auditorium on April 23rd.
With every song she tells a different story.
Definitely a performance you don't want to miss.
If you love to watch performances by music icons on the small screen, PBS has got you covered.
Check out "Joni Mitchell" receiving the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize and the "American Masters" on Roberta Flack.
You can watch both on demand right now.
There's so much going on in and around the city.
Here are a few more events happening ahead.
Hope to see you around and enjoy your weekend.
