Intimate Concert Performances
Since June 2008, Kalamazoo Public Library—long recognized for its excellence in programming—has provided patrons with a monthly series of unique, intimate concert performances featuring local and nationally recognized artists from a variety of musical genres.
With the kind consent of the artists, many of these unique events have been preserved in the form of video, audio, photographs and commentary.
Visit KPL’s YouTube channel for more vintage clips from our archives, and KPL’s Flickr photostream for great photos of library events.
