MANITOWOC – Manitowoc is in for a one-of-a-kind night of music, movies and community celebration Saturday, March 7.
The Lakeshore Wind Ensemble “Winds of March: The General” concert takes the stage at the Capitol Civic Centre at 7:30 p.m., pairing live symphonic music with a screening of Buster Keaton’s silent-film masterpiece “The General.”
Conducted by Jeremiah Eis, the Lakeshore Wind Ensemble will perform an original live score, bringing new energy and emotion to the classic comedy-adventure.
The evening will also spotlight local arts leadership. The Lakeshore Wind Ensemble Association will present the 2026 Wesley Teply Community Service Award in the Arts to Karen Rohrer, founder of Treehouse Theater.
A Manitowoc native, Rohrer has spent decades strengthening arts education and youth opportunities. She founded Treehouse Theater in 2012 and led it through 2024, helping young performers grow in confidence, creativity and community.
Tickets are available at cccshows.org or the Capitol Civic Centre Box Office, 913 S. Eighth St., Manitowoc.
