Community Calendar

Raise a glass, lift your spirits, and get ready to applaud what’s possible. PAWS & Applause is our signature southeast Michigan celebration where our community comes together for an evening of hors d’oeuvres, craft drinks, inspiring stories, and a silent auction—all in support of life-changing working dogs.

This year’s event proudly celebrates the launch of our newest program, medical alert dogs, and honors Sara C. Osterman with the inaugural Independence Impact Award.

The piano quintet is a powerhouse chamber ensemble, combining the sonic richness of a string quartet with the symphonic aura of grand piano. Inspired by Robert Schumann’s early example, composers from the early Romantic age all the way through the 21st century have contributed significantly to the genre. Russian master Anton Arensky, a teacher of Rachmaninoff, penned his sole quintet in his mature years, and the ever-popular champion of French music Camille Saint-Saëns began his prolific chamber music career with this quintet of surprising skill and maturity. Bracing violin duos by virtuosos of the Baroque and Classical eras serve as effervescent quintet preludes.

Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10, 1776, with an initial print run of just 1,000 copies; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8, weekdays from 12-4 pm.
