Secret Planet State College is Central Pennsylvania’s branch of a broader East Coast network of community-minded presenters dedicated to bringing adventurous international and culturally rooted artists to smaller American markets. Operating through a Community Supported Music model, the series helps offset the financial risk of touring while giving local audiences access to globally respected performers they would rarely encounter otherwise. Curated by Gorinto Productions and anchored largely at Manny’s Live Performance Space, Secret Planet State College has become a consistent platform for borderless live music, artist exchange, workshops, and collaborative community events that connect rural Pennsylvania to a much wider cultural conversation
