Take a Midweek Break with Brown Bag Concerts! Step away from the busyness and enjoy a Fall Fun Break each Wednesday in October at the Northeast Louisiana Arts Council’s free outdoor Brown Bag Concert Series. Bring a picnic blanket or lawn chair, soak up the sunshine and cooler fall breezes, and treat yourself to a noontime mini-concert. Pack your own lunch or pick up a $6 box lunch (with tea) from Newk’s Eatery, available on site. And don’t miss the free cookies from Mulhearn’s - the perfect sweet treat! Concerts are free and open to the public.

Enjoy a duo of seasoned performing artists on hand to round out the Fall Series. Sara O'Connor Siereveld is both a veteran performer and successful business leader as Advancement Officer at ULM. She has performed professionally across the country in national tours like Young Frankenstein and locally most recently in the Strauss Theatre Centre production of You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown.” Justin Havard is an accomplished director, pianist, singer and educator. He is also a veteran of national tours, playing for The Book of Mormon, Wicked, and “Spamalot.” He may be best known locally as part of the music faculty at ULM, where he teaches voice, directs the Spring musical, and accompanies myriad performances by faculty and students. Come see and hear why these two are so often tapped for national showcases as they stop by to wrap up the Series!
