As I reflect on this year’s Sounds of the Zoo, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. To every artist who shared their voice and vision, every venue that opened its doors, every sponsor and donor who believed in our mission, every volunteer who gave their time and energy, and every community member and fan who showed up with love and support — thank you. This festival is built on connection, creativity, and community, and it’s because of you that we’re able to bring this vision to life each year. Together, we’re proving that music has the power to unite, inspire, and create positive change right here in Kalamazoo and beyond. From the bottom of my heart — thank you for being part of the Sounds of the Zoo family, “It’s All About The Music” ❤️ Jennifer Hudson-Prenkert Director, Sounds of the Zoo
