Climb the 48 foot tall Muskegon South Pierhead Light and experience the unique feeling of traveling back in time. Up two spiral staircases and a shipman’s ladder, this ironclad tower built in 1903 boasts unparalleled views from the lantern room at the tower top. Knowledgable, passionate volunteer Lighthouse keeper docents share the history of Muskegon’s lighthouses and other faces of the area’s maritime importance. Pre-sunset tours are offered all autumn long, with hours that vary in September and October.

Inspired by Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”, Ravel incorporated a lot of American jazz into his Piano Concerto in G major. Gershwin, in turn, lent a suave French flair to An American in Paris. Brilliant Cuban pianist and composer Aldo López-Gavilán makes his WMS debut in two concertos.
