HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Live music is the highlight of this week’s events along the lakeshore!
3/26 Sunday: The Free @ 3 Concert Series at First Reformed Church of Holland- First Reformed Church was founded in 1847 when immigrants from the Netherlands built a log church in what is now Pilgrim Home Cemetery. The present building on the corner of 26th and State streets was built in 1962 and houses a thriving musical congregation. The sanctuary boasts a beautiful Mason & Hamlin grand piano which is used in many of the Free @ 3 concerts. It is also the home to a three manual, 39 rank, 1962 Casavant pipe organ. The chancel was remodeled in 2013 in part to accommodate the various musical groups which perform on the Free@3 series. This Sunday is Not Your Standard Fare! J. Adam Briggs, saxophone; Genevieve Beaulieu, bassoon; Sarah Bast, piano. 630 State Street, Holland; 3pm.

3/28 Tuesday: Knickerbocker Film Series – Things To Come- Nathalie is a philosophy teacher with a seemingly settled existence, juggling a rich life of the mind with the day-to-day demands of career and family. But beginning with the bombshell revelation that her husband of twenty-five years is leaving her, one by one the pillars of Nathalie’s life start to crumble. For the first time in ages, she finds herself adrift, but also with a newfound sense of liberation. With nothing to hold her back, Nathalie sets out to define this new phase of her life and to rediscover herself. Winner of the Best Director award at the 2016 Berlin International Film Festival, the new film from Mia Hansen-Løve is an uncommonly intelligent, soul-searching look at what it means to create a life of one’s own. 86 East 8th Street, Holland; 86 East 8th Street, Holland; $7.
