MUSIC

Organizers of a Jewish centennial celebration in Muskegon, Mich., can attest that dreams do come true, sometimes. As a lark, the group asked violinist Itzhak Perlman to open their civic festival. They were surprised when Perlman agreed. His recital Saturday night will mark the first of a series of events running through May, 1989, to help the city of 150,000 honor a small minority of its residents--the city has fewer than 90 Jewish families. The Israeli-born violinist’s performance had been sold out since July. More than 50 other programs are scheduled, including an exhibition of art by Marc Chagall.
