Violin students from Sharon Rothstein, M.D., M.P.H 's Farmington Hills violin  will perform classical music and collect donations from the Children's Chamber Music Education Fund, a non-profit fund which gives young children the opportunity to enjoy playing some of the best chamber music ever composed at a high level in hopes of inspiring, nurturing, and educating them, according to organizers.  

Shuttles will run continuously throughout the weekend at Madonna University and the Burroughs company, on the corner of Plymouth Road and Haggerty. The shuttle service is sponsored by St. John Providence.
