MOMENT<br />
2 Welcome to the 144th <strong>Season</strong><br />
Elena Urioste by Alessandra Tinozzi
WELCOME TO<br />
THE 144TH<br />
<strong>UMS</strong> SEASON<br />
As we come to the end of our first season of<br />
returning to live performances after a hiatus<br />
caused by the pandemic, all of us have been<br />
reminded again of how amazing our <strong>UMS</strong><br />
audiences truly are.<br />
You have stayed with <strong>UMS</strong> on a journey this<br />
season that didn’t always have a straight path,<br />
but one where the ultimate destination —<br />
coming together safely as a community and<br />
being reminded of our humanity — made<br />
the trip worthwhile and hopefully satisfying.<br />
We are feeling optimistic that our <strong>2022</strong>/<strong>23</strong><br />
season will move us even further along that<br />
path, and we invite you to lean in and “live<br />
the moment” next season with us. We will<br />
enter it with many lessons learned and with<br />
renewed appreciation, shared by our artists,<br />
for the incredible commitment you have<br />
demonstrated these past two years.<br />
After a year in which many artists and large<br />
ensembles were rightly cautious about<br />
touring, we are excited to announce that<br />
our <strong>2022</strong>/<strong>23</strong> season showcases a scale of<br />
season that feels more familiar, including<br />
the return of our popular genre-based fixed<br />
packages (see pages 24-25 for details). No<br />
fewer than six great orchestras will appear<br />
on the Hill Auditorium stage, including two<br />
performances by the Berlin Philharmonic;<br />
the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra<br />
and Chineke! Orchestra from the UK, both of<br />
which were rescheduled after the pandemic<br />
prevented international touring; and the<br />
rescheduling of the Sphinx Symphony<br />
Orchestra’s Hill debut, celebrating its 25th<br />
anniversary. These orchestras and their<br />
leaders are all taking an exciting, thoughtful,<br />
and active approach to reshaping much of<br />
their programming, charting a more inclusive<br />
future that is long overdue.<br />
We’re also thrilled to be in partnership once<br />
again with our longtime friends Wynton<br />
Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center<br />
Orchestra — this time in a week-long<br />
residency that will include his symphonic<br />
masterpiece All Rise and a big band concert<br />
by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra,<br />
as well as a special appearance at the Big<br />
House, where they will be featured during a<br />
Michigan Marching Band halftime show. This<br />
residency has been years in the making, and<br />
there will be more surprises from the group<br />
along the way.<br />
<strong>UMS</strong>’s renegade theater festival, No Safety<br />
Net, will return for its third installment,<br />
with details on all productions and artists<br />
announced in the fall. We are now able to<br />
share that kicking off NSN 3.0 will be the<br />
terrific Belgian theater company Ontroerend<br />
Goed with a uniquely palindromic work about<br />
the environment — a piece that gives us<br />
hope that perhaps we can undo some of the<br />
damage that has already been done.<br />
As we look ahead to our new season, we<br />
would be remiss not to recognize our partners<br />
at the University of Michigan, whose support<br />
envelops so many departments and programs.<br />
We are grateful for the confidence that<br />
University leadership has in <strong>UMS</strong> and are<br />
eager to continue forging new relationships<br />
across campus with faculty and students alike.<br />
We invite you to join us next season. Live<br />
the moment and be reminded once again<br />
just how much we've all missed the beauty<br />
and wonder of great artistry, and the power<br />
it holds for us as human beings to be able<br />
share it with one another.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Matthew VanBesien<br />
<strong>UMS</strong> President<br />

is widely known for his social commentary<br />
touching upon issues of racism, immigration,<br />
incarceration, and the protest movement.<br />
Born in South Africa to a Black South African<br />
mother and a white European father during<br />
apartheid, Noah knows what it means to<br />
live in a divided nation, and he brings a<br />
unique perspective in his incisive social<br />
and political criticism of the larger issues<br />
at play in the US and in the world today. His<br />

Wynton Marsalis with Tappan Middle School students by Peter Smith<br />
Wynton Marsalis’s massive jazz symphony<br />
All Rise (Symphony No. 1) was commissioned<br />
by the New York Philharmonic for the<br />
millennium and had its world premiere on<br />
December 29, 1999. The combined forces of<br />
a symphony orchestra, jazz orchestra, and<br />
chorus capture the stylistic range of this<br />
epic blues suite. Blending influences from<br />
African chant, New Orleans parade music,<br />
gospel, symphonic modernism, and Latinbased<br />
music, All Rise (Symphony No. 1) is<br />
a 12-movement arc built on the structure<br />
of the Blues that moves from uplifting<br />
and energetic to dark and distressing to<br />
Marsalis’s vision of the “togetherness and<br />
ascendance” of humanity. Marsalis has said<br />
that this monumental work is about “the rise<br />
from destruction to creativity, drawing joy out<br />
of tragedy, and refusing to be beaten down.”<br />
Of the world premiere performance, the<br />
Chicago Tribune enthused, “Marsalis finds<br />
plangent blues melody at [the] core…This is<br />
what makes All Rise cohere even though its<br />
12 movements span entire continents and<br />
musical cultures.”<br />

“The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra<br />
is ridiculously tight, executing tricky<br />
maneuvers like a fighter jet.” (DownBeat)<br />
Since 1988, Wynton Marsalis has led the<br />
15-piece Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra,<br />
which simultaneously honors the rich<br />
heritage of Duke Ellington and Louis<br />
Armstrong while presenting a stunning<br />
variety of new works from illustrious names,<br />
many of whom perform regularly with the<br />
ensemble. Following Friday's performance<br />
of Marsalis's All Rise, the group returns in<br />
its big band format for an afternoon of jazz.<br />
“You know it’s a good gig when you can’t tell<br />
if the band or the audience is having more<br />
fun.” (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel).<br />
This appearance concludes a week-long<br />
residency that will include two public<br />
concerts, a School Day Performance for K-12<br />
students, connections with students at the<br />
U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance —<br />
and a halftime appearance with the Michigan<br />

Claude Debussy La mer<br />
The electrifying young Lithuanian conductor<br />
Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, a former Dudamel<br />
Fellow and associate conductor at the Los<br />
Angeles Philharmonic, was appointed music<br />
director of the City of Birmingham Symphony<br />
Orchestra in 2016, following in the footsteps<br />
of Simon Rattle and Andris Nelsons. Her<br />
tenure has been one of unqualified success,<br />
generating excitement among live audiences<br />
and critics worldwide. She brings the CBSO<br />
to Ann Arbor as part of a limited US tour with<br />
cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason performing<br />
Elgar’s Cello Concerto, composed in the<br />
aftermath of World War I. The orchestra<br />
had a close association with Elgar, who<br />
conducted the ensemble’s very first concert<br />
over a century ago, in 1920. The program also<br />
includes an abbreviated orchestral rendering<br />
of Thomas Adès’s third opera, based on Luis<br />
Buñuel’s 1962 surreal film about a collection<br />
of society characters who find themselves<br />
inexplicably trapped together at a post-opera<br />
party. The CBSO “brilliantly captured the<br />
profound, uncanny disquiet that makes [the<br />
film] so unforgettable.” (Bachtrack)<br />

“How would you dance, if you knew you were<br />
going to die?” the late choreographer Pina<br />
Bausch asked her dancers in 1975, when<br />
she created her vision of The Rite of Spring,<br />
where a young woman is sacrificed so spring<br />
can arrive. Her pioneering work, one of the<br />
first that established her iconic approach<br />
to dance theater, is now being performed<br />
by a newly assembled company of dancers<br />
from more than a dozen African countries.<br />
The Rite of Spring is paired with a new work<br />
created, performed, and inspired by the lives<br />
of two remarkable women: Germaine Acogny,<br />
the founder of École des Sables in Senegal<br />
who is widely considered “the mother of<br />
contemporary African dance,” and Malou<br />
Airaudo, an iconic dancer in early works from<br />
Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch. A poetic<br />
and tender antidote to The Rite of Spring,<br />

histories and emotional experiences.<br />

an extensive history of musical collaboration.<br />
For their third <strong>UMS</strong> appearance, they bring<br />
their Doppelgänger project, an ambitious<br />
four-year international commissioning<br />
project in which four composers create<br />
new works in response to a masterwork by<br />
Franz Schubert. In this concert, they pair<br />
Schubert’s “Death and the Maiden” quartet<br />
with a new work by Finnish composer Lotta<br />
Wennäkoski, who has been praised for her<br />
mastery of color and musical textures.<br />

“[Aida] Cuevas is to Mexico what Aretha<br />
Franklin is to the United States: a powerful<br />
voice that encapsulates the essence of her<br />
nation’s spirit. (Kansas City Star)<br />
The voice, charisma, and talent of Aida<br />
Cuevas has led to one of the most important<br />
careers in traditional Mexican and Latin<br />
American music. The “Queen of Ranchera<br />
Music,” Cuevas exhibits her stunning vocals<br />
and her unwavering devotion to traditional<br />
mariachi music and its demanding vocal<br />
forms. With a 46-year career and nearly as<br />
many albums, she was awarded the 2018<br />
Grammy Award for “Best Regional Mexican<br />
Music Album,” the first time a woman has<br />
received the award. Cuevas is a master of the<br />
Mariachi art song, ranging from her falsetto<br />
heavyweight “El Pastor” to her iconic Juan<br />
Gabriel hits including “Te Doy Las Gracias,”<br />
“Te Vas a Quedar Con Las Ganas,” and<br />
“Quizás Mañana.” With her unique voice<br />
and style, she has left a remarkable imprint<br />
in the history of Mexican music. Aida Cuevas<br />
is joined by Mariachi Aztlán, one of the top<br />
collegiate mariachi bands in the country.<br />

W.A. Mozart Violin Concerto No. 1 in B-Flat Major,<br />
K. 207<br />
Erich Korngold Symphony in F-Sharp Major, Op. 40<br />
The Berlin Philharmonic’s new chief conductor,<br />
Kirill Petrenko, makes his <strong>UMS</strong> debut with<br />
this two-concert residency. Born in Siberia,<br />
Petrenko came from a musical family and<br />
served as music director for opera companies<br />
in three cities, all the while maintaining a<br />
strong interest in the symphonic repertoire.<br />
For this debut concert, he conducts Andrew<br />
Norman’s 10-minute orchestral joyride,<br />
Unstuck, which brims with invention and<br />
energy. The orchestra’s first concertmaster<br />
takes the stage for Mozart’s first violin<br />
concerto, and the orchestra concludes its<br />
program with Erich Korngold’s only symphony.<br />
Completed in 1952 and dedicated to the<br />
memory of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the<br />
work had a radio premiere in 1954 and was<br />
not performed in concert until 1972, 15 years<br />
after the composer’s death. A huge success<br />
in Hollywood as a film composer, Korngold is<br />
known for his sweeping orchestrations and<br />
brilliant orchestral color, all of which are on<br />
display in this insightful and dramatic score.<br />

PROGRAM<br />
Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 7<br />
“Kirill Petrenko has a way of hearing deep<br />
into textures and harmonies that is at times<br />
really quite startling. He gives us X-ray ears.”<br />
(Gramophone) The Berlin Philharmonic’s<br />
second program features Gustav Mahler at his<br />
most mysterious, with the tantalizing nocturnal<br />
atmosphere of his Symphony No. 7. The work,<br />
which remains the least known and least<br />
performed of all of Mahler’s symphonies, was<br />
composed in the summers of 1904 and 1905,<br />
during Mahler’s only respite from the demands<br />
of conducting. The work’s wide palette of<br />
orchestral colors is filled with shadows and<br />
contrasts, and it had a mixed reception when<br />
it premiered in Prague in 1908. Nevertheless,<br />
it converted the Mahler skeptic Arnold<br />
Schoenberg, who wrote in great detail about his<br />
response to the work, stating unequivocally, “As<br />
for which movement I liked best: All of them!”<br />

Undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin,<br />
Itzhak Perlman enjoys superstar status rarely<br />
afforded a classical musician. Beloved for<br />
his charm and humanity as well as his talent,<br />
he is treasured by audiences throughout the<br />
world who respond not only to his remarkable<br />
artistry, but also to his irrepressible joy for<br />
making music. For this special performance<br />
in Hill Auditorium, he brings together pianists<br />
Emanuel Ax and Jean-Yves Thibaudet and the<br />
Juilliard String Quartet for a mixed chamber<br />
music program.<br />
SPECIAL DOUBLE-BILL!<br />
BÉLA FLECK MY BLUEGRASS HEART<br />
AND PUNCH BROTHERS<br />
Friday, December 16 // 7:30 pm<br />
Hill Auditorium<br />
When Punch Brothers and Béla Fleck come<br />
together in this special double-bill evening,<br />
one thing is certain: audiences benefit from<br />
their lifelong devotion to bluegrass as much<br />
as the musicians. The band of virtuosi that<br />
comprise Punch Brothers has spent more<br />
than a decade changing the face of acoustic<br />
music, stretching the limitations of their<br />
instruments and influencing a generation<br />
of young musicians, some of whom will<br />
appear with Béla Fleck as part of his set<br />
based on his <strong>2022</strong> Best Bluegrass Grammywinning<br />
album My Bluegrass Heart. Beyond<br />
the baker’s dozen of Grammy Awards and<br />
Genius Grants between them, their collective<br />
skills bring worldly rhythms and soulful jams<br />
to Hill Auditorium. While Punch Brothers<br />
founder Chris Thile and Béla Fleck have made<br />
several <strong>UMS</strong> appearances with their own<br />
projects in recent years, this special concert<br />
marks Punch Brothers' return to <strong>UMS</strong> for<br />
the first time since 2009. “With enthusiasm<br />
and experimentation, Punch Brothers take<br />
bluegrass to its next evolutionary stage,<br />
drawing equal inspiration from the brain and<br />
the heart.” (Washington Post)<br />
TAKÁCS QUARTET<br />
WITH JEREMY DENK, PIANO<br />
Wednesday, January 18 // 7:30 pm<br />
Rackham Auditorium<br />
PROGRAM<br />
Franz Joseph Haydn String Quartet in F Major,<br />
Op. 77, No. 1<br />
Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel Quartet in E-Flat Major<br />
Robert Schumann Piano Quintet in E-Flat Major,<br />
Op. 44<br />
The Takács Quartet — fresh from its<br />
performance last season with bandoneón<br />
player Julien Labro — returns to Rackham<br />
Auditorium with pianist Jeremy Denk. The<br />
intrepid ensemble shines a light on the sole<br />
string quartet written by Fanny Mendelssohn<br />
Hensel, an active 19th-century composer<br />
whose works were largely unrecognized<br />
during her lifetime. Jeremy Denk joins the<br />
group for the second half with Schumann’s<br />
ebullient piano quintet, one of the very first<br />
works to pair the traditional string quartet<br />
configuration with piano. Dedicated to Clara<br />
Schumann, the fiendishly difficult piano part<br />
was first performed by Fanny Mendelssohn’s<br />
brother, Felix, when Clara fell ill, though<br />
she was at the keyboard for the first public<br />
performance a month later.<br />

“Life must be lived forwards, but it can only<br />
be understood backwards.” (Kierkegaard)<br />
Like its title, this performance is a palindrome<br />
that you will be able to see both forwards<br />
and backwards — because some people<br />
believe humanity is moving forward, while<br />
others believe the opposite. Some say the<br />
world is coming to an end, and others call<br />
them doomsayers. No matter who is right, in<br />
our quest for progress, we have dramatically<br />
changed the world we live in. Are our actions<br />
irreversible? Or can we undo them? This<br />
performance presents a visual metaphor<br />
for this crucial moment in our future history,<br />
tracing the process of humans moving<br />
towards their downfall — or their salvation.<br />
Are we not drawn onward to new erA is “an<br />
inventive, meticulously choreographed<br />
artistic commentary on humanity’s<br />
collective destruction of the Earth and every<br />
person’s responsibility to commit fully to its<br />
rehabilitation.” (The Skinny) An Edinburgh<br />
Fringe First Award winner, this powerful<br />
piece of theater is a “technically dazzling,<br />
emotionally devastating show.” (Time Out)<br />
This presentation is part of No Safety Net 3.0, <strong>UMS</strong>'s<br />
Renegade Theater Festival. Additional artists and<br />
details will be announced in Fall <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

AARON DIEHL TRIO: MIRROR<br />
Friday, January 27 // 8 pm<br />
Rackham Auditorium<br />
<strong>UMS</strong> audiences may remember Aaron Diehl<br />
as the incredible pianist who performed<br />
alongside Cécile McLorin Salvant in Lydia<br />
Mendelssohn Theatre in February 2020<br />
and at the Michigan Theater in 2017. This<br />
new project showcases his fluency in both<br />
Western classical repertoire and dynamic<br />
jazz improvisation. He and his trio explore<br />
the connections between J.S. Bach’s<br />
counterpoint and the vocabulary of bebop,<br />
interspersing solo sections from The Well-<br />
Tempered Clavier with Diehl’s own music in<br />
corresponding keys. “Diehl gracefully melds<br />
two worlds, merging the improvisational<br />
spirit of jazz with the compositional<br />
intricacies of Western classical music.”<br />
(Downbeat)<br />
Permanently Endowed Support: Helmut F. and<br />

In this concert, postponed from January 2021,<br />
Detroit's Sphinx Organization celebrates<br />
its 25th anniversary, and <strong>UMS</strong> presents the<br />
full orchestra on its first-ever national tour,<br />
immediately after its Sphinx Competition<br />
performances. The all-Black and Latinx<br />
Sphinx Symphony Orchestra is composed of<br />
top professionals from around the country,<br />
with members serving as mentors to<br />
Competition finalists and promoting works by<br />
Black and Latinx composers. Sphinx’s vocal<br />
ensemble, EXIGENCE, joins the ensemble for<br />
several pieces, including Joel Thompson’s<br />
Seven Last Words of the Unarmed, a powerful<br />
multi-movement choral work that was<br />
premiered by the U-M Glee Club in 2016<br />
and memorializes the last words spoken by<br />
seven African American men killed by police<br />
or other authority figures.<br />
This concert is presented in conjunction with<br />
SphinxConnect, a national convening focused on<br />
diversity and inclusion in the arts.<br />
JOSHUA BELL, VIOLIN<br />
Tuesday, February 7 // 7:30 pm<br />
Hill Auditorium<br />
With a discography of more than 40 albums<br />
and a career spanning over 30 years as a<br />
soloist, chamber musician, conductor, and<br />
music director, Joshua Bell is one of the<br />
most celebrated violinists of his era. The<br />
Bloomington, Indiana, native has served as<br />
music director for Academy of St. Martin in<br />
the Fields since 2011 and maintains an active<br />
interest in music education and technology,<br />
partnering with an instrument sampling<br />
company and creating a VR experience for<br />
the Sony PlayStation. Bell returns for his fifth<br />
recital program and ninth appearance under<br />
<strong>UMS</strong> auspices since his 1989 Hill Auditorium<br />
debut with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.<br />

Leoš Janáček Sinfonietta<br />
William Bolcom Humoresk for Organ and Orchestra<br />
Leoš Janáček Glagolitic Mass<br />
Dennis Russell Davies last appeared in<br />
Ann Arbor with the Bruckner Orchester<br />
Linz in a program featuring Angélique Kidjo<br />
performing a new song cycle by Philip Glass.<br />
Now he returns with his new orchestra, the<br />
Czech Republic’s Brno Philharmonic, which<br />
was founded in 1956 and serves as a living<br />
tribute to Leoš Janáček’s music. Janáček was<br />
educated in Brno and spent most of his life<br />
there, and his extensive experience working<br />
with and composing for choirs was evident<br />
in his compositions. The Glagolitic Mass — so<br />
named because it was written in the oldest<br />
known Slavic alphabet — has been performed<br />
only once at <strong>UMS</strong>, in 1988, and is a patriotic<br />
masterpiece, more of a hymn to the Czech<br />
nation and Slavic culture than a religious or<br />
ecclesiastical tribute.<br />

Detroit Opera House<br />
Contemporary dance superstar Angelin<br />
Preljocaj tackles the Mount Everest of the<br />
ballet world with his new take on Swan Lake.<br />
Combining Tchaikovsky’s musical masterpiece<br />
with contemporary arrangements, he reinvents<br />
the timeless and familiar tale of love, betrayal,<br />
seduction, and remorse into a contemporary<br />
ecological tragedy. The evil sorcerer von<br />
Rothbart is an industrialist who wants to exploit<br />
fossil fuels against a backdrop of unbridled<br />
capitalism, while Siegfried and Odette are the<br />
two eco-conscious heroes who try to thwart<br />
his plans. With 26 dancers, this Swan Lake<br />
truly takes flight in its beautiful tribute to the<br />
original. Audiences who have seen Ballet<br />
Preljocaj’s previous four appearances in Ann<br />
Arbor, including the magical Snow White a<br />
decade ago, are in for a treat when classical<br />
ballet meets modern dance on the stage of the<br />
Detroit Opera House.<br />
Co-presented with Detroit Opera.<br />

MARIA SCHNEIDER ORCHESTRA<br />
Maria Schneider, composer and bandleader<br />
Saturday, March 11 // 8 pm<br />
Hill Auditorium<br />
“Maria Schneider is a national treasure,”<br />
proclaims National Public Radio. The<br />
2019 NEA Jazz Master, 2021 Pulitzer<br />
Prize finalist (for her 2020 album Data<br />
Lords), and seven-time Grammy winner<br />
brings her 18-member collective to<br />
Hill Auditorium for their <strong>UMS</strong> debut.<br />
Schneider’s music has been hailed by<br />
critics as evocative, majestic, heartstoppingly<br />
gorgeous, imaginative,<br />
revelatory, riveting, daring, and beyond<br />
categorization. Blurring the lines<br />
among genres, her commissioners<br />
stretch from Jazz at Lincoln Center to<br />
the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra and<br />
the American Dance Festival — and<br />
also include a collaboration with David<br />
Bowie. Formed as a tribute to Gil Evans,<br />
who orchestrated many of Miles Davis’s<br />
charts, Schneider’s band tackles lush and<br />
complex works that bring new energy to<br />
the jazz orchestra landscape.<br />
STEP AFRIKA!<br />
C. Brian Williams, founder and artistic<br />
director<br />
Sunday, March 12 // 4 pm<br />
Hill Auditorium<br />
Step Afrika! introduces audiences to<br />
the importance of stepping in cultural<br />
identity and the use of body percussion<br />
as a means of communication. Their<br />
performances blend percussive dance<br />
styles practiced by historically African<br />
American fraternities and sororities,<br />
traditional West and Southern African<br />
dances, and an array of contemporary<br />
dance and art forms. Featuring the<br />
powerful dance of the Zulu nation and<br />
the poly-rhythmic South African gumboot<br />
dance, they integrate songs, storytelling,<br />
humor, and audience participation into a<br />
cohesive, compelling artistic experience<br />
that showcases their technique, agility,<br />
and pure energy. The first professional<br />
dance company dedicated to the tradition<br />
of stepping, Step Afrika! is featured in the<br />
Smithsonian’s National Museum of African<br />
American History and Culture with the<br />
world’s first interactive stepping exhibit.<br />

After their <strong>UMS</strong> debut in November 2019,<br />
which featured Vivaldi’s Four <strong>Season</strong>s<br />
paired with a new take on the work by Max<br />
Richter — a concert that many audience<br />
members cited as their favorite of the year —<br />
violinist Daniel Hope returns with the Zurich<br />
Chamber Orchestra in a new program that<br />
takes a deep dive into the rich repertoire<br />
of American music, exploring its roots and<br />
distinctive qualities. “We know a piece is<br />
from America the moment we hear it,” Hope<br />
says. “But what makes it sound American?”<br />
With arrangements by Paul Bateman for<br />
solo violin with various classical and jazz<br />
combinations, this concert will explore both<br />
familiar and unfamiliar tunes by a variety of<br />
American composers.<br />
FARIDA AND THE IRAQI MAQAM<br />
ENSEMBLE<br />
Sunday, March 19 // 4 pm<br />
Rackham Auditorium<br />
Farida Mohammad Ali was born in Karbala,<br />
Iraq, and has established a reputation<br />
throughout the Arab world for her brilliant<br />
performances of the classical maqam, a form<br />
of Arab art music traditionally sung by men.<br />
Her powerful voice and extensive training<br />
have enabled her to perform some of the<br />
most challenging maqams, and her mastery<br />
of the form is truly extraordinary with both<br />
a technique that requires full command of<br />
complex melodies and an understanding of<br />
the philosophies embedded within them.<br />
Farida specializes in maqam al-baghdadi,<br />
which has its roots in the culture of<br />
Mesopotamia and is a secular form that relies<br />
on improvisation. When Farida became the<br />
first Iraqi woman to perform maqam in the US<br />
in 2001, the New York Times reviewer likened<br />
her to Linda Ronstadt, while the Chicago<br />
Tribune detected "the swelling sweetness of<br />
Bonnie Raitt wrapped around the gale-force<br />
power of Pavarotti."<br />
CHINEKE! ORCHESTRA<br />
Andrew Grams, conductor<br />
Elena Urioste, violin<br />
Saturday, March 25 // 8 pm<br />
Hill Auditorium<br />
PROGRAM<br />
Carlos Simon Fate Now Conquers<br />
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Violin Concerto in g minor<br />
Florence Price Symphony No. 1 in e minor<br />
Founded in 2015 to provide career<br />
opportunities to young Black and ethnically<br />
diverse classical musicians in the UK and<br />
Europe, the Chineke! Orchestra comprises<br />
exceptional musicians from across the<br />
continent. The brainchild of Chi-chi Nwanoku<br />
OBE, an ex-sprinter and double bass player<br />
who was a founding member of the Orchestra<br />
of the Age of Enlightenment and typically<br />
found herself the only Black musician on<br />
stage in any concert, Chineke! makes its<br />
<strong>UMS</strong> debut three years after it was originally<br />
scheduled. The concert features three works<br />
that have never been performed on <strong>UMS</strong><br />
concerts. Florence Price’s first symphony was,<br />
in 1933, the first symphonic work by a Black<br />
woman to be performed by a major American<br />
orchestra. Steeped in American folk music,<br />
spirituals, and church hymns, her work reflects<br />
her experience as a Black woman raised in<br />
the post-Civil War South. Sphinx laureate<br />
Elena Urioste joins the orchestra for Samuel<br />
Coleridge-Taylor’s Violin Concerto. The<br />
program opens with a short work by Carlos<br />
Simon, a U-M alumnus whose works are now<br />
gaining national attention.<br />
Pronounced chi-NECK-ay, the orchestra’s name<br />
comes from a Nigerian Igbo exclamation for<br />
“something amazing.”<br />

Friday, April 14 // 8 pm<br />
Hill Auditorium<br />
A <strong>UMS</strong> favorite since her 2017 debut, Cécile McLorin Salvant<br />
continues to defy expectations with her genre-obliterating virtuosity.<br />
The singer, composer, and visual artist has a passion for storytelling<br />
and finding the connections between blues, folk traditions from<br />
around the world, theater, jazz, and Baroque music. She is an<br />
eclectic curator who unearths rarely recorded, forgotten songs with<br />
interesting power dynamics and unexpected twists; a composer of<br />
new songs; and a visual artist who works in the medium of textile<br />
drawings. Each of her past three recordings has won the Grammy<br />
for Best Jazz Vocal Album, and in 2020 she was named a MacArthur<br />
fellow. The New York Times called Ghost Song, released in March <strong>2022</strong>,<br />
“her most revealing and rewarding album yet.” After her 2020 set in<br />
Mendelssohn Theatre with pianist Aaron Diehl, she brings her quintet<br />
to Hill Auditorium.<br />
JULIUS EASTMAN’S FEMENINE<br />
WILD UP<br />
Christopher Rountree, music director<br />
Sunday, April 16 // 4 pm<br />
Rackham Auditorium<br />
American composer, pianist, vocalist, and dancer Julius Eastman was<br />
young, gay, and Black when it was even more difficult to be young,<br />
gay, and Black in America. He swerved in, out, and through academia,<br />
downtown experimental music, discos, Meredith Monk’s early<br />
ensembles, European tours, sex clubs, and Carnegie Hall. He died in<br />
1990 at age 49, less than a decade after the New York City Sheriff’s<br />
Department evicted him and threw most of his scores and belongings<br />
into the winter snow of the East Village. Eastman sometimes gifted his<br />
manuscripts to friends and musical colleagues; now, more than three<br />
decades since his death, his work is being regifted by those whose<br />
lives he touched. The Los Angeles music collective Wild Up is creating<br />
a series of performances and a multi-volume anthology to carry his<br />
music forward, starting with Femenine. The minimalist work debuted<br />
in 1974, two years before Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians and<br />
Philip Glass’s Einstein on the Beach had their first performances; yet<br />
Eastman was punished for being ahead of his time, in the rejection of<br />
both his music and his person. “Wild Up’s new rendition takes a page<br />
from Eastman’s personal playbook: It’s exuberant, a bit in your face,<br />
sometimes capricious, and always surprising.” (NPR Music)<br />

28 Welcome to the 144th <strong>Season</strong>
<strong>UMS</strong> DURING<br />
COVID<br />
"I HAD PEACE OF MIND THAT WE COULD ENJOY THE SHOW<br />
KNOWING THAT EVERYONE'S SAFETY WAS FIRST."<br />
(Audience member at Hill Auditorium)<br />
During the 2021/22 season, <strong>UMS</strong> presented more<br />
than two dozen live performances with vaccine<br />
and mask requirements, as well as numerous digital<br />
events. Audiences of up to 3,000 people enjoyed<br />
<strong>UMS</strong> performances and the opportunity to return to<br />
the live event experience.<br />
As we all do our best to work through the global<br />
pandemic, we also recognize that expectations may<br />
be different when we start a new season in the fall.<br />
At this point, we anticipate that the <strong>2022</strong>/<strong>23</strong> season<br />
will be a return to a pre-pandemic normal, at least in<br />
terms of attending live events, and we will continue<br />
to offer subscribers complete flexibility if conditions<br />
change — either in our region, or for you personally.<br />
WHILE PROTOCOLS MAY CHANGE AS WE<br />
GET CLOSER TO LIVE EVENTS, WE ASK ALL<br />
AUDIENCE MEMBERS TO DO THEIR PART TO<br />
CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE.<br />
To that end, we encourage audience members who<br />
are not feeling well to stay home — and we’ll offer<br />
subscribers ticket refunds, exchanges, credit for future<br />
performances, and donation options upon request.<br />
For further details and the latest information about safety<br />
protocols, please visit ums.org/safety. This page will be<br />
updated regularly as conditions evolve.<br />
We fully support our patrons who will continue<br />
to mask and want to remind everyone that in the<br />
absence of mask and vaccine mandates, one-way<br />
masking still provides substantial protection.<br />

Darragh and Bob Weisman
DARRAGH AND<br />
BOB WEISMAN’S<br />
LOVE STORY BEGAN<br />
WHILE ATTENDING<br />
<strong>UMS</strong> CONCERTS AT<br />
HILL AUDITORIUM<br />
AS UNIVERSITY<br />
OF MICHIGAN<br />
STUDENTS IN 1957.<br />
And as their courtship and relationship advanced, so<br />
did their love of <strong>UMS</strong>. Over the following 63 years, they<br />
attended hundreds of events, gradually moving from<br />
the balcony to the main floor and from students to <strong>UMS</strong><br />
benefactors.<br />
When Darragh passed away in 2021, Bob decided to<br />
honor her memory and their relationship by creating<br />
an endowment that would allow future generations to<br />
benefit from their generosity…forever.<br />
“The original seed was planted when we first started<br />
attending <strong>UMS</strong> performances for $2 a ticket. I know<br />
that someone else’s support made it possible for me<br />
to buy affordable tickets as a student, and I knew then<br />
that I wanted to do something like this in the future,”<br />
Weisman says.<br />
INCLUDING <strong>UMS</strong> IN YOUR ESTATE PLAN WILL HELP<br />
ENSURE THAT THE EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT OF THE<br />
PERFORMING ARTS WILL CONTINUE IN SOUTHEAST<br />
MICHIGAN FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.<br />
GIFTS OF ANY SIZE<br />
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.<br />
Please visit ums.org/forever or call Marnie Reid at<br />
734.647.1178 to learn more about how you can make<br />
your forever gift to <strong>UMS</strong>.<br />

pandemic will look like, we want to assure you<br />
that we will continue to prioritize both safety<br />
and flexibility for our season ticket holders.<br />

ABOUT THE INTANGIBLE<br />
BENEFITS OF<br />
SUBSCRIBING:<br />
PERSONAL FULFILLMENT<br />
Let’s be honest — it’s hard to find those<br />
moments of personal escape, and sometimes<br />
we have to schedule them into our lives. <strong>UMS</strong><br />
takes you to a place where the imagination is<br />
thriving, and <strong>UMS</strong> season tickets allow you to<br />
invest in yourself — and in the quality of life in<br />
our community.<br />
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS<br />
Create shared memories with the people<br />
who are important to you, and build lasting<br />
friendships with others who love the arts.<br />
SATISFY YOUR CURIOSITY<br />
We always love to hear from subscribers<br />
who took a chance on something they<br />
weren’t sure they would enjoy or had never<br />
experienced before. Often, it ends up being<br />
their favorite event of the season! So be bold<br />
and be curious — discover an artist you’ve<br />
never heard of, try an art form you haven’t<br />
experienced, or join us for an interactive<br />
learning program. In every <strong>UMS</strong> season, you<br />
can count on unexpected moments that will<br />
stay with you for a lifetime.<br />
