The 2018-2019 CHEMICAL BANK Series celebrates 20 years at the Van Singel Fine Arts Center kicking off with Swing Night at the Van Singel featuring one of this area’s favorite entertainers, Glenn Bulthuis. Butlhuis returns to the Van Singel stage for a 7:30 pm performance on Saturday, Oct. 6, along with the 17-piece Hark Up Big Band for an evening of twenty-four swingin’ hits.
Over the past 10 years, Bulthuis and his band have performed the Music of the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and James Taylor at the Van Singel. Now he returns with an all-new concert featuring a 17-piece big band line-up performing the songs of Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Michael Buble, Nat King Cole, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor and many more.

The box office is open Monday through Friday, 12 noon to 5 pm. For more information or bios, photos and more go to www.glennbulthuis.com.
The Van Singel Fine Arts Center is located on 84th Street and Burlingame Avenue in Byron Center, just 1.5 miles west of US-131 in Byron Center. The Fine Arts Center features free parking (see below for construction parking details.)
Please note: The Van Singel Fine Arts Center sits at the east end of the Byron Center High School which is part of a $68 million dollar bond construction project. Because of the construction, parking will be limited at the east of the facility where the Van Singel is located. Patrons attending evening events may have to park in the lots off Burlingame and enter the building on the west end (near the gym/swimming pool) and walk through the school to the Van Singel. Signage will be placed to help direct patrons.
