Concerts Under the Stars is an immersive full-dome concert experience where local West Michigan bands perform their music, enhanced by original video art by local visual artists projected onto the Roger B. Chaffee Planetarium’s 50-foot dome. Visitors are invited to explore the Museum’s first two floors of exhibits during the cocktail hour before the concert. 

Each show begins at 7:30 p.m. with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Performers will play two sets with a short intermission in between. Refreshments, beer, and other beverages will be available for purchase. Tickets are $24, with discounted pricing of $20 for GRPM members.

Please be aware that shows may contain bright lights or dizzying visuals.

About Slow Spell

Slow Spell is an experimental rock band from Traverse City, Michigan. Knotted guitar, hypnotic bass, and dynamic drums weave together around the melodic and deeply powerful vocals. The resulting sound is somewhat enigmatic. For this very special performance at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, the band will be bringing their improvisational practice to a live audience for the first time. Each night’s second set of music will be crafted live; with the planetarium’s visuals and audience energy helping guide what’s created on stage. Slow Spell consists of Laurel Premo (vocals), Chris Stefanciw (guitar), Peter Lepczyk (bass), and Will Thomas (drums).
