| Thanks to Sponsors |
|---|
 Northern Michigan University and the International Performing Arts staff would like to thank the series’ 2008-09 co-sponsors: the Finn Grand Fest Foundation at NMU and the MEEMIC Foundation. Without their support, this year’s series would not have the depth and breadth we are lucky to enjoy. |
