Music In Manito
July 22 - 23, 2025
Music in Manito in July 2025 features a program Artistic Director Zuill Bailey planned featuring the mesmerizing sound of Biriba Union blending Brazilian music with American hip hop and jazz. Biriba Union was formed by Grammy-winning Mike Block, performing cello and vocals, Christylez Bacon, beatbox, guitar and rhythm, and Patricia Ligia, electric bass and vocals. The program opens with guest violinist Helen Kim from Atlanta joined by a string ensemble of local musicians, including Zuill Bailey, performing a special arrangement of Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires and other selections.
The concert site opens at 6pm for pre-concert picnics in both table and lawn seating areas. Three Jumbotron video screens on each side of the stage and another larger one in the back lawn bring the action on the stage up close to the audience. Lawn seating patrons supply their own chairs or blankets. There are no chair height restrictions on the open lawn.
There will be no concession service at the concerts, and audiences supply their own food and beverages with the addition of water encouraged for the warm evenings.
