Additional time info:

Mike is an active recording artist of original material, folk music and cross-cultural collaborations. He has an ongoing project to record all of the Bach cello suites in acoustically rich bathrooms of famous concert halls, BachInTheBathroom.com.

In 2017, Block became an ongoing contributor to Facebook’s Sound Collection, for which he has composed, arranged, recorded, and produced over 300 tracks ranging from Western classical to contemporary pop, as well as traditional music from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.

The concert is on a Friday night because Block will be joining John Williams, Instrumental Music Teacher at Oak Ridge School during the day to work and perform with Williams' students. “We like to bring in a variety of professional musical presentations, exposing our students to high quality performances and letting them experience a variety of musical styles”, remarked Williams.

The concert promises a lively, enjoyable and diverse variety of music genres including Block’s own innovative stylings which the Sandwich Arts Alliance is proud introduce to music lovers across the region.
