UMS's HU Celebration Da y. (eIebratIn~ 100 Ye.1rs 0/ HlI ." PERSONA ~ PEREORMING ARTS . VIsit wwwumsore:llearn At UMS, we believe it can. In our 135th season, we continue to showcase traditional performances alongside contemporary artists for an offering that is unlike anything available in the Midwest. UMS grew from a group of local members of the University and townspeople in the 1870s who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and conducted by Professor Calvin cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Many Choral Union members were also affiliated with the University, and the University Musical Society was established soon after in December 1880. Since that first season, UMS has expanded greatly and we now present the very best from a wide spectrum of the performing arts: internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and global music performers, and contemporary stagework and classical theater. Through educational programming, the commissioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies, and collaborative projects, we continue to strengthen our reputation for artistic distinction and innovation.

Hied Erill H. Serr PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: Turn off ceU phones and etectronic devices. We all know how terrible it is when a phone rings during a performance. It breaks that special bond between a performer and the audience. Illuminated screens on phones are also a visual distraction in a darkened theater. Our volunteer ushers are invaluable. They will show you to your seat, give you a program, help solve any problems, answer questions, and welcome you to the experience. Please do not hesitate to ask them for help. Wear what you want to the performance - this is Ann Arbor, after all! If you feel inspired to dress in some way related to the show, go for it Express your own creativity. Unwrapping candies and cough drops before the performance begins cuts down on disruptive noise while the performance is in progress. Think about whether it is necessary to wear your favorite perfume to the performance. Chances are that the folks sitting around you may appreciate an unscented experience. The Good News: most of our performance spaces have world-class acoustics. The Bad News: that means that when you cough or sneeze you make an especially clear statement to fellow audience members and performers alike. Feel free to ask an usher for cough drops when you arrive ata UMS Choral Union Series event and please consider bringing cough drops with you to our other events. It's noisy even if you cover your mouth! Thankfully, we manage to keep last-minute changes to a minimum, but please remember that all artists and programs are subject to change at a moment's notice. Programs with larger print are available. Ask an usher. We make every effort to begin performances on time. The actual start time of a performance always reflects a combination of considerations. If you arrive after a performance has begun, we will get you inside the theater and to your seat as soon as it is appropriate. We work together with the artists to determine late seating breaks that will not disrupt their performance or the experience of the audience.
