Time Left: CLOSED
Description
The University Musical Society donated (2) tickets to the presentation of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on Sunday, January 13, at 4:30 p.m. in Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor.
What will you hear? A concert created to showcase Hill Auditorium’s organ, which was built in Detroit in 1893.
UMS and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra have partnered together for years, bringing many moving performances to UMS audiences. This latest partnership seeks to celebrate the 100th birthday of Hill Auditorium with a concert that features the Frieze Memorial Organ. The organ was built in Detroit in 1893 and displayed at the Chicago World's Fair: Columbian Exposition, which celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the New World. Shortly thereafter, the University purchased the organ, and it was a centerpiece of Albert Kahn's design when Hill Auditorium was built.
Leonard Slatkin, conductor with Peter Richard Conte, David Higgs and James Kibbie, organ; UMS Choral Union and Jerry Blackstone, music director
