The 1996 Winter Season
Dear UMS Patrons
Thank you very much for attending this event and for supporting the work of the University Musical Society. By the time this 199596 season comes to a close this spring, the UMS will have brought to the community 65 performances featuring many of the world's finest artists and ensembles. In addition, the UMS will have sponsored more than 100 educational events aimed at enhancing the community's understand?ing and appreciation of the performing arts. Your support makes all of this possible, and we are grateful to you.
My colleagues throughout the country are continually amazed at how a Midwest community of 110,000 can support the number and quality of performances that the UMS brings to Ann Arbor. They want to know how we do it, and I'm proud to tell them. Here's what I say:
O First, and most important, the people in Ann Arbor and the surrounding region provide great support for what we do by attending events in large numbers and by providing generous financial support through gifts to the UMS. And, according to our artists, they are among the most informed, engaged and appreciative audiences in the country.
O It has been the tradition of the University Musical Society since its founding in 1879 to bring the greatest artists in the world to Ann Arbor, and that tradition continues today. Our patrons expect the best, and that's what we seek to offer them.
O Our special relationship with one of the country's leading educational institutions, the University of Michigan, has allowed us to maintain a level of independence which, in turn, affords us the ability to be creative, bold and entrepreneurial in bringing the best to Ann Arbor. While the UMS is proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan and is housed on the Ann Arbor campus, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organization which supports itself from ticket sales, other earned income, grants, and contributions.
O The quality of our concert halls means that artists love to perform here and are eager to accept return engagements. Where else in the U.S. can Cecilia Bartoli perform a recital before 4,300 people and know that her pianissimos can be heard unamplified by everyone
O Our talented, diverse, and dedicated Board of Directors drawn from both the University and the regional community provides outstanding leadership for the UMS. The 200-voice UMS Choral Union, 55-member Advisory Committee, 275-member usher corps, and hundreds of other volunteers and interns contribute thousands of hours to the UMS each year and provide critical services that we could not afford otherwise.
O Finally, I've got a wonderful group of hard-working staff colleagues who love the Musical Society and love their work. Bringing the best to you brings out the best in them.
Thanks for coming, and let me hear from you if you have any suggestions, complaints, etc. Look for me in the lobby or give me a call at 313.747.1174.
Sincerely,
Kenneth C. Fischer Executive Director

Concert Guidelines
To make concertgoing a more convenient and pleasurable experience for all patrons, the Musical Society has implemented the following policies and practices:
Starting Time for Concerts The Musical Society will make every attempt to begin its performances on time. Please allow ample time for parking. Ushers will seat latecomers at a predetermined time in the program so as not to disturb performers or other patrons.
Children We welcome children, but very young chil?dren can be disruptive to a performance. Children should be able to sit quietly in their own seats through?out a performance. Children unable to do so, along with the adult accompanying them, may be asked by an usher to leave the auditorium. Please use discretion in choosing to bring a child. Remember, everyone must have a ticket, regardless of age.
A Modern Distraction Please turn off or suppress electronic beeping and chiming digital watches or pagers during performances.
Cameras and Recorders Cameras and recording devices are strictly prohibited in the auditoria.
Odds and Ends A silent auditorium with an expec?tant and sensitive audience creates the setting for an enriching musical experience. To that desired end, performers and patrons alike will benefit from the absence of talking, loud whispers, rustling of pro?gram pages, foot tapping, large hats (that obscure a view of the stage), and strong perfume or cologne (to which some are allergic).

University Musical Society
of the University of Michigan
Now in its 117th season, the University Musical Society ranks as one of the oldest and most highly-regarded performing arts presenters in the country.
The Musical Society began in 1879 when a group of singers from Ann Arbor churches gathered together to study and perform the choruses from Handel's Messiah under the leadership of Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and Professor Calvin B. Cady. The group soon became known as the Choral Union and gave its first concert in December 1879. This tradition continues today. The UMS Choral Union performs this beloved oratorio each December.
The Choral Union led to the formation in 1880 of the University Musical Society whose name was derived from the fact that many members were affili?ated with the University of Michigan. Professor Frieze, who at one time served as acting president of the University, became the first president of the-Society. The Society comprised the Choral Union and a concert series that featured local and visiting artists and ensembles. Today, the Choral Union refers not only to the chorus but the Musical Society's acclaimed ten-concert series in Hill Auditorium. Through the Chamber Arts Series, Choral Union Series, Jazz Directions, World Tour, and Moving Truths Series, the Musical Society now hosts over 60 concerts and more than 100 educational events each season featuring the world's finest dance companies,
opera, theater, popular attractions, and presentations from diverse cultures. The University Musical Society has flourished these 117 years with the support of a generous musicand arts-loving community, which has gathered in Hill and Rackham Auditoria, Power Center, and The Michigan Theater to experience the artistry of such outstanding talents as Leonard Bernstein, the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonic Orchestras, Sweet Honey in the Rock, the Martha Graham Dance Company, Enrico Caruso, Jessye Norman, James Levine, the Philadelphia Orchestra, Urban Bush Women, Benny Goodman, Andres Segovia, The Stratford Festival, The Beaux Arts Trio, Cecilia Bartoli, and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Under the leadership of only five directors in its history, the Musical Society has built a reputation of quality and tradition that is maintained and strength?ened through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, programs for young people, artists' residencies such as the Martha Graham Centenary Festival and the Society Bank Cleveland Orchestra Weekend, and through other collaborative projects.
While it is proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, is housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and collaborates regularly with many University units, the Musical Society is a separate, not-for-profit organization, which supports itself from ticket sales, corporate and individual contributions, foundation and government grants, and endowment income.
UMS Choral Union
Thomas Sheets, conductor
The University Musical Society Choral Union has performed throughout its 117-year history with many of the world's distinguished orches?tras and conductors.
In recent years, the chorus has sung under the direction of Neemejarvi, Kurt Masur, Eugene Ormandy, Robert Shaw, Igor Stravinsky, Andre Previn, Michael Tilson Thomas, Seiji Ozawa, Robert Spano and David Zinman in performances with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of St. Luke's and other noted ensembles.
Based in Ann Arbor under the aegis of the University Musical Society of the University of Michigan the 180-voice Choral Union remains best known for its annual performances of Handel's Messiah each December. Two years ago, the Choral Union further enriched that tradition through its appointment as resident large chorus of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In January 1994 the Choral Union collaborated with Maestro Jarvi and the DSO in the chorus' first major commercial recording, Tchaikovsky's Snow Maiden, released by Chandos Records in October of that year. Last season, the ensemble joined forces with the DSO for subscrip?tion performances of Ravel's Daphnis el ChloeanA Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection). In 1995, the Choral Union established an artistic association with the Toledo Symphony, inaugurating the new partnership with a performance of Britten's War Requiem under the baton of Andrew Massey. This season, the Choral Union will again join the Toldeo Symphony for performances of Bach's Mass in b minor under conductor Thomas Sheets, and the Berlioz Requiem with Andrew Massey.
The long choral tradition of the University Musical Society reaches back to 1879, when a group of local church choir members and other interested singers came together to sing choruses from Handel's Messiah, an event that signaled the birth of the University Musical Society. Participation in the Choral Union remains open to all by audition. Representing a mixture of townspeople, students and faculty, members of the Choral Union share one common passion a love of the choral art.
Hill Auditorium
Completed in 1913, this renowned concert hall was inaugurated at the 20th Annual Ann Arbor May Festival and has since been home to thousands of University Musical Society concerts, including the annual Choral Union Series, through?out its distinguished 82-year history.
Former U-M regent Arthur Hill saw the need at the University for a suitable auditorium for holding lectures, concerts, and other university gatherings. Mill bequested $200,000 for construction of the hall, and Charles Sink, then UMS president, raised an additional $150,000.
Upon entering the hall, concertgoers are greeted by the gilded organ pipes of the Frieze Memorial Organ above the stage. UMS obtained this organ in 1894 from the Chicago Colombian Exposition and installed it in old University Hall (which stood behind present Angell Hall). The organ was moved to Hill Auditorium for the 1913 May Festival. Over the decades, the organ pipes have undergone many changes in appearance, but were restored to their original stenciling, coloring, and layout in 1986.
Currently, Hill Auditorium is part of the U-M's capital campaign, the Campaign for Michigan. Renovation plans for Hill Auditorium have been developed by Albert Kahn and Associates to include elevators, green rooms, expanded bathroom facilities, air conditioning, artists' dressing rooms, and many other necessary improvements and patron conveniences.
Rackham Auditorium
For over 50 years, this intimate and unique con-cei t hall has been the setting for hundreds of world-acclaimed chamber music ensembles pre?sented by the University Musical Society. Before 1941, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were few and irregular. That changed dramatically, however, when the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies came into being through the generosity of Horace H. and Mary A. Rackham.
The Rackham Building's semi-circular auditorium, with its intimacy, beauty, and fine acoustics, was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. The Musical Society realized this potential and pre?sented its first Chamber Music Festival in 1941, the first organized event of its kind in Ann Arbor. The present-day Chamber Arts Series was launched in 1963. The Rackhams' gift of $14.2 million in 1933 is held as one of the most ambitious and liberal gifts ever given to higher education. The luxurious and comfortably appointed 1,129-seat auditorium was designed by architect William Kapp and architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci.
POWER CENTER for the Performing Arts
The dramatic mirrored glass that fronts the Power Center seems to anticipate what awaits the concertgoer inside. The Power Center's dedication occurred with the world premiere of Truman Capote's The Grass Harp in 1971. Since then, the Center has been host to hundreds of prestigious names in theater, dance, and music, including the University Musical Society's first Power Center presentation--Marcel Marceau.
The fall of iggi marked the twentieth anniver?sary of the Power Center. The Power Family-Eugene B. Power, a former regent of the University of Michigan, his wife Sadye, and their son Philip-contributed $4 million toward the building of the theater and its subsequent improvements. The Center has seating for 1,380 in the auditorium, as well as rehearsal spaces, dressing rooms, costume and scenery shops, and an orchestra pit.
UMS hosted its annual week-long theater resi?dency in the Power Center, welcoming the esteemed Shaw Festival of Canada, November 15-20, 1994.
In October 1994, UMS, the Martha Graham Dance Company, and ten institutional partners hosted
"In the American Grain: The Martha Graham Centenary Festival" commemorating the 100th anniversary of Martha Graham's birth. The Power Center was the site of open rehearsals, exhibits, workshops, and performances, including the 50th anniversary celebration of the premiere of the Martha GrahamAaron Copland collaboration Appalachian Spring (Ballet for Martha).
The Michigan Theater
The historic Michigan Theater opened its doors January 5, 1928 at the peak of the vaudeville movie palace era. The gracious facade and beautiful interior were then, as now, a marvel practi?cally unrivaled in Michigan. As was the custom of the day, the Theater was equipped to host both film and live stage events, with a full-size stage, dressing rooms, an orchestra pit, and the Barton Theater Organ, acclaimed as the best of its kind in the country.
Over the years, the Theater has undergone many changes. Talkies" replaced silent films just one year after the Theater opened, and vaudeville soon disap?peared from the stage. As Theater attendance dwindled in the '50s, both the interior and exterior of the building were remodeled in an architecturally inappropriate style.
Through the '60s and '70s the 1800-seat theater struggled against changes in the film industry and audiences until the non-profit Michigan Theater Found?ation stepped in to operate the failing movie house in 1979.
After a partial renovation which returned much of its prior glory, the Theater has become Ann Arbor's home of quality cinema as well as a popular venue for the performing arts. The Michigan Theater is also the home of the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
In June of 1950, Edward Cardinal Mooney appointed Father Leon Kennedy pastor of a new parish in Ann Arbor. Sunday Masses were first celebrated at Pittsfield School until the first building was ready on Easter Sunday, 1951. The parish num?bered 248 families. Ground was broken in 1967 to build a permanent church building, and on March 19, ig6g,John Cardinal Dearden dedicated the new St. Francis of Assisi Church. In June of 1987, Father Charles E. Irvin was appointed pastor.
Today, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is composed of 2,800 families. The present church seats 800 people and has ample free parking. Since ig87janelle O'Malley has served as Music Director of St. Francis. Through dedication, a commitment to superb liturgical music and a vision into the future, the parish improved the acoustics of the church building. A splendid 3 manual "mechanical action" instrument of 34 stops and 45 ranks was built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. The 1994 Letourneau Organ (Opus 38) was dedicated in December of 1994.
Burton Memorial Tower
A favorite campus and Ann Arbor landmark, Burton Memorial Tower is the familiar .mailing address and box office location for UMS concertgoers.
In a 1921 commencement address, University president Marion LeRoy Burton suggested that a bell tower, tall enough to be seen for miles, be built in the center of campus to represent the idealism and loyalty of U-M alumni. Burton served as president of the University and as a Musical Society trustee from 111 ?-?11 until his death in 1925.
In 1935 Charles M. Baird, the University's first athletic director, donated $70,000 for a carillon and clock to be installed in a tower dedicated to the memory of President Burton. Several organizations, including the Musical Society, undertook the task of procuring funds, and nearly 1,500 individuals and organizations made contributions. The gift of the UMS totalled $60,000.
Designed by Albert Kahn, Burton Memorial Tower was completed in 1940, at which time the University Musical Society took residence of the first floor and basement.
A renovation project headed by local builder Joe O'Neal began in the summer of 1991. As a result, the UMS now has refurbished offices on three floors of the tower, complete with updated heating, air conditioning, storage, lighting, and wiring. Over 230 individuals and businesses donated labor, materials, and funds to this project.
The remaining floors of Burton Tower are arranged as classrooms and offices used by the School of Music, with the top reserved for the Charles Baird Carillon. During the academic year, visitors may observe the carillon chamber and enjoy a live per?formance from noon to 12:30 p.m. weekdays when classes are in session and most Saturdays from 10:15 to 10:45 a.m.

The 1996 Morton, Monk, Marsalis winter tour marks the fifth season on the road for Jazz at Lincoln Center. Wynton Marsalis, Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, leads a group of musicians from the interna?tionally-acclaimed Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, performing unique compositional stylings of Jelly Roll Morton and Thelonious
Monk. Works by these two seminal jazz artists are fea?tured alongside Mr. Marsalis' own compositions, all interpreted by the ensemble who, according to the Los Angeles Times, "performs with a combination of
respectful elegance and improvisational vigor" and "are universally outstanding."
Jelly Roll Morton is widely regarded as the first great composer of jazz. He was born in New Orleans in 1890. Morton believed that jazz contained "the finest ideas from the greatest operas, symphonies, and overtures." His fusion of these elements and Afro-Hispanic rhythms gave birth to a style of high imagination filled with vibrant colors. An inspired composer, pianist; and improviser, Morton changed the course of American music in the twentieth century. Morton's work showed that highly arranged compositions could retain the improvised feel of traditional New Orleans jazz. Featured works on this program include Morton's Black Bottom Stomp, The Pearls, and King Porter Stomp.
Thelonious Monk is considered by many to be the most original composer in the post?war modern jazz era. Monk made his mark early as a sideman with tenor saxophonist
Coleman Hawkins. His compositions 'Round Midnight and Epistrophy were recorded by trumpeter Cootie Williams. Monk's engage?ment as house pianist at Minton's Playhouse in Harlem put him squarely at the center of the bebop revolution and his recordings doc?ument his highly individualized musical con?ception. Monk's elaboration of the Harlem stride piano style and love of the blues were showcased in his angular, playful compositions. As Monk's career progressed he achieved a significant degree of popularity. Such Monk standards as Criss Cross, I Mean You, and Blue Monk will be presented by tonight's ensemble, as well as Marsalis' own original arrangements of such classics as Green Chimneys, Evidence, Four In One, Thelonious, Reflections, and Crepuscule with Nellie.
The "Morton, Monk, Marsalis" tour will also showcase compositions by Artistic Director Wynton Marsalis. Marsalis' prolific composi?tional style embraces and elaborates upon a variety of jazz idioms, from the rhythms and colors of the blues and his New Orleans roots, to the harmonic sophistication of Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. The program offers audiences the opportunity to discover how the works of two of jazz music's most important compositional voices have influ?enced Marsalis' own musical conception.
Jazz at Lincoln Center produces concerts, lectures, films, recordings, radio broadcasts, educational programs for adults and children, and national and international tours of its programs. Under the leadership of Wynton
Marsalis, the pro?gram has risen to national promi?nence from its inception as a sum?mer concert series, Classical Jazz, in 1987. Four suc?cessful summers later, Lincoln Center announced the formation of a
year-round jazz program, the first of its kind at a major performing arts center. Jazz at Lincoln Center has been earmarked to become the next full constituent of Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, with a tar?get date for independence this July 1, 1996.
1 ynton Marsalis, the most popular and acclaimed jazz musician and composer of his generation, is an eight-time Grammy Award winner in both the jazz and classical genres. He is the youngest musician in the history of the Grammys to win the jazz soloist performance award for three consec?utive years, and the first to win Grammys for both jazz and classical recordings. He has performed with the giants of jazz, including Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, EKin Jones, Harry "Sweets" Edison, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Joe Henderson, and Jon Hendricks, and has appeared as a soloist with many of the world's leading symphony orchestras. Through his performances and recordings, his extensive work with children and students, and his role as Artistic Director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Mr. Marsalis has brought an increasingly wide audience to jazz and cast new light on its central place in American culture.
Wynton Marsalis was born in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1961. His father, Ellis Marsalis, is a widely respected musician, composer, and educator. Mr. Marsalis was given his first trumpet at the age of six. In high school he played for the New Orleans Civic Orchestra and entered Tanglewood's Berkshire Music Center's summer program. At the age of eighteen he enrolled in Thejuilliard School. In 1980, Mr. Marsalis went on the road with Ait Blakey, and in 1981 with Herbie Hancock, who produced his debut
album, which was nominated for a Grammy Award. Mr. Marsalis has been impressively prolific, sometimes releasing jazz and classi?cal albums in the same year; in 1984 he stunned the music world when he won awards in both genres. Besides the torrent of recordings, Mr. Marsalis has kept up a dizzying tour schedule, winning over audi?ences worldwide and headlining annual celebrations and festivals.
In recent years, Mr. Marsalis has produced a group of extended works conveying a range and depth of human expression rarely found in contemporary American music. Mr. Marsalis has produced numerous works commissioned by Jazz at Lincoln Center, including In This House, On This Morning in igg2, a collaboration with the New York City Ballet entitled Jazz: Six Syncopated Movements, and 1994's epic depiction of the story of American slavery, Blood on the Fields, written for big band and vocals. Jazz at Lincoln Center will be touring this work in February of 1997. Mr. Marsalis produced two new major works during 1995, including his collaboration with choreographer Twyla Tharp entitled Jump Start, and At the Octoroon Balls, a string
quartet which came about through a collaboration between Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Jazz at Lincoln Center has commissioned Mr. Marsalis to write a new work
for big band in collaboration with Judith Jamison of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for the inaugural Lincoln Center Festival in August 1996.
Mr. Marsalis is a devoted and passionate spokesman for jazz and music education; he frequently conducts workshops for young
people in the hope of keeping jazz vibrant and thriving. His healthy preoccupation with education has led him to his current projects for PBS, "Marsalis on Music," and NPR, "Making Music." The four-part PBS series aired in October 1995 and is available for sale. The NPR series allows him to explore in detail many of the issues he deals with in "Marsalis on Music." Mr. Marsalis has written a companion book to the PBS series, which includes a CD. This comes on the heels of his first book, a collaboration with Frank Stewart entitled Sweet Suring Blues on the Road. He has perpetuated the artistry of both famous and lesser-known jazz greats by organizing concerts and educational events around their works, and he continues to nurture flourishing careers of up and coming artists.
This evening's performance marks Mr. Marsalis's UMS debut.
The Mission ofJazz at Lincoln Center. . .
Jazz at Lincoln Center aims to establish the value of jazz as fine art widiin the context of America's premier performing arts center. Its primary goal is the enriching challenge of producing first class programming of the highest caliber and showcasing the rich canon of jazz masterworks that exist in. hopes of making more people aware of this great American art form and the wealth of contributions that have been made by musi?cians across this century from every corner of the nation. Founded as a full-time, year-round department in 1991, Jazz at Lincoln Center has pursued curatorial, educational, and archival objectives by presenting jazz performances of rhe highest quality, teaching adults and children about jazz and its rela?tionship to other art forms, and developing a world-class database to provide intellectual and historical frames of reference for current
and future generations of artists, scholars and patrons. Each of these objectives remains intact as Jazz at Lincoln Center continues to expand and take programs beyond the Lincoln Center campus such as tours by the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and a nation?ally syndicated radio series which re-broad?casts its concerts to hundreds of thousands of people. Jazz at Lincoln Center will soon reap the rewards gained by attaining the status of a full constituent of Lincoln Center, cement?ing the program's permanent presence at Lincoln Center.
On the most basic level, Jazz at Lincoln Center vims to specify the rich body of master-works that make up the 'jazz canon" and establish definitive contributions to (and definitive elements of) this form, thereby devising a representative and definitive anthology of jazz creation. Further, Jazz at Lincoln Center seeks to enrich and expand this canon by commissioning new works from jazz composers. By establishing the parameters of a vernacular -specifically the extension, elaborations and refinements of the American vernacular can in turn create an environment at Lincoln Center in which this vernacular can flourish and continue to move forward.
Jazz at Lincoln Center aspires to stylize idiomatic particulars of American experience into aesthetic statement of universal experi?ence through an artists vision that addresses the richness of the music as a whole. This is a vision that includes African rhythms, New Orleans street beats, the Native American impact on Kansas City swing, Latin grooves, romantic ballads, blues, American inflected virtuosity, and orchestral concepts original to this country. Jazz at Lincoln Center is profoundly dedicated to the celebration and preservation of this vision, and it offers its due respect through inventive programming, extensive rehearsal and first-class presentation.
This evening's performance marks the LCJO's third appearance under UMS auspices.

hen came The Blind Boys I and the earth moved," proclaimed a review in Folk Roots magazine. 'This is a group with a sound -Fountain's gravel against the Blind Boy's harmony silk -and they deploy it as though it explained the world," wrote James Hunter for Rolling Stone magazine.
As pilgrims on the Gospel Highway for nearly sixty years and a Grammy nomination for Gospel Album of the Year for their highly-acclaimed album Deep River, the Blind Boys of Alabama are stronger than ever. The road from Talledega, Alabama's Institute for the Deaf and Blind, to Hollywood's House of Blues was a long one, and the journey was often a test of faith: there were the legal inequities and social insults that marred road life the early days; there were the bilkings by record company sharks; there were many temptations to "crossover" to secular rhythm and blues; and there were painful losses of colleagues and friendly rivals.
But Clarence Fountain was daunted by none of it. "I just kept waiting for the big thing," he said. "I knew we would hit the jackpot one day."
Few singers of Fountain's age possess his assured perseverance; few groups formed in the Depression are still going, and none -Blind Boys excepted -can look back on this past decade as the most successful. The group just released their first ever "live" album which was recorded at the Hollywood's House of Blues where the Blind Boys held church on January 14-16, 1995. The first night's concert became the first full-length concert to be broadcast on the Internet in history. If that seems ironic for a group which released its debut "78" in 1948, it may be a matter of the group's timeless energy finding yet another medium for their message.
Although the seeds of the group took root among friends singing informally in
1937. The Blind Boys of Alabama were formed in 1939 by Clarence Fountain at the Talladega Institute for the Blind in Alabama, where the boys studied music in Braille, learned piano chords and "musical structures to this and that," says Fountain. Although the group's music education was a good one, there was no formal training, nor was there access to Gospel music, except for the infrequent occasions in which they were permitted off the campus to attend church. It was at this time that the group discovered the Gospel harmony quartets, such as the Golden Gate Quartet and The Soul Stirrers. The Blind Boys began to develop and refine their own style based on these quartets. Often they would organize a big crowd at someone's house for what was called "a sing." They would also perform at the World War II soldier camps. Encouraged by a good response, The Blind Boys of Alabama later became more widely heard through their association with Reverend Paul Exkano on WWL, a 50,000 watt radio station based in New Orleans.
The Blind Boys' extensive recording career was launched in 1948, when they recorded their first national hit, Can See Everybody's Mother But Mine for the Coleman Record label. The group has since recorded over twenty chart-topping albums for numerous record labels, including Palda Records, Specialty Records and Veejay Records. Recently re-released on Ace records is a CD box set which includes two of the original Blind Boys of Alabama Specialty albums, Stand by Me and Marching Up to Zion. The group's album Deep River on the ElektraNonesuch label, demonstrates the diversity of a group that is equally at home with the century-old a capellaJubilee style of singing, a sanctified "back-beat" Blues style, or a contemporary funk style. It is this diversity and artistic vision that has enabled The Boys to continuously and power?fully move religious and secular audiences
for over fifty years with their impassioned, electrifying Gospel music.
Fierce determination and strength of purpose have also fueled The Blind Boy's success and longevity. Fountain elaborates on this aspect in the group's development in an interview with the Chicago Tribune. "When you're blind, people often look on you as helpless, as if you can't do anything for yourself. So, we had to be not only as good as anyone else, we had to be better, just so they wouldn't knock us out of the competition. We had to work harder than most folks to get onto this stage."
"This stage" extended to Broadway in ig88, where The Blind Boys of Alabama fea?turing Clarence Fountain, were introduced to secular audiences with the starring role in Tie Gospel at Colonus, the classic Greek tragedy of Oedipus presented in a contemporary Pentecostal motif. The innovative production won an Obie Award and wide critical acclaim.
The Broadway production opened new venues to a group which has always remained faithful to its mission while readily adapting to new mediums, be they theaters, clubs or the Internet. Yet to group's singular musical mission of delivering Gospel to as many people as possible remains sacred. This strength of purpose in the artistic vision of The Blind Boys of Alabama is best character?ized by Clarence Fountain, "[We] want to get to the masses, and reach as many people as [we] can, to make them understand the Gospel."
This evening's performance marks the Blind Boys of Alabama and Mr. Fountain's UMS debut.
1 ith over sixty-one years in the music industry, The Soul Stirrers are renowned trailblazers of American music who have left an indelible imprint on the groups who have followed. The Soul Stirrers were the first group to pre?sent a program exclusively of Gospel music when this special sound was still evolving. They were the first group to add an extra singer to the Gospel quartet format. They were the first group to present alternate lead singers in the context of a single song. They were the first group to present alternate lead singers as the dominant focus of a quartet performance. They were the first group to use guitar accompaniment. And, they were the first group to use the electric string bass. Throughout the years, the Soul Stirrers have left such a lasting impression that their sound has inspired the popularity of Gospel music widi audiences everywhere. Their exhilarating performances on the world's most prestigious stages, their array of honors, and their mega-hit recording career are testimony to the respect they command. The Soul Stirrers have performed at Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden, the Guthrie Theater, the Goodman Theater, the Theatre Grecco and others throughout Europe. They have been honored by appearing at the White House for former Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Jimmy Carter. The Soul Stirrers were inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and the American Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame in 1981. The group's acclaimed recordings
include more than sixteen hit records, four?teen albums, and a featured performance on the video and soundtrack of the Broadway musical, The Gospel at Clonus, in which they starred in 1988.
Born out of a need to bring superior quality, traditional gospel music to mass audiences, the original Mount Pleasant Singers --JJ. Farley, E.A. Rundless, T.L. Brewster, S.R. Crain and the Reverend W.L. Labeaux -began singing together in Trinity, Texas in 1926. With the addition of R.H. Harris in 1931, they changed the name of the group to the five Soul Stirrers.
Over the years, other talented lead singers have contributed to the Soul Stirrers' legend, including Paul Foster, James Medlock, Johnny Taylor, Jimmy Outlaw, Walter Donson, Eddie Huffman, Julious Cheecks and the legendary Sam Cooke. During the decades of the 40's, 50's and 6o's, this immortal gospel group took the country by storm. Some of the hits produced during those days were By and By, Jesus Gave Me Water, Restin'Easy, Jesus Be a Fence Around Me, The Lord Will Make a Way, Remember Me and Christmas Joy.
Today's Soul Stirrers -lead singer Willie Rogers (who has a timbre and fiery delivery reminiscent of Sam Cooke), falsetto Martin Jaycos, tenor-guitarist Jackie Bands,
ana Dantone-Dassist uennie uaom -came together under the guidance of original memberJJ. Farley, who managed the group until his death in 1988. Having been together for over fifteen years, this group is continuing the unique Gospel tradition that was shaped by the last surviving original member of the group, seventy-eight-year-old R.H. Harris. "We sang verses that projected and supported the voice in front. Gospel is the element of expression of word that builds on other words," he said.
With a solid reputation for producing quality music, The Soul Stirrers have person?ified the metamorphosis of Gospel music, defining and re-defining its style throughout the years. To those who have challenged it, Harris has validated The Soul Stirrers' long?standing popularity with this simple response, ". . .what we were singing was Good News. This is good news in the language of music."
This evening's performance marks The Soul Stirrers' UMS debut.

Orphaned as a young child, Inez Andrews began singing Gospel music in the youth choir of her church in Birmingham, Alabama. She received her first professional experience in Birmingham's Carter Choral Ensemble, and in 1952, she joined the Gospel Harmonettes, a well-known women's quartet led by Evelyn Starke Beavers. At a 1956 Tennessee perfor?mance with the Gospel Harmonettes, she came to the attention of the legendary Reverend James Cleveland who, at that time, was playing piano with the famous Caravan Singers, a Chicago-based group that was led by Albertina Walker and also included John Erin Davis and Dorothy Norwood. Inez joined the Caravan Singers in 1957, performing and recording with them intermittently for the next fourteen years. It was during this time that she wrote and recorded such Gospel classics as I'm Not Tired Yet, God Said So, What Will Tomorrow Bring, I'm Willing To Wait and Your Friend. It was with the Caravans that Inez first recorded Mary Don't You Weep which earned a Gold Record for the group and later earned another Gold Record for Aretha Franklin and James Cleveland from their Amazing Grace album released in 1971.
In 1961, Inez Andrews formed her own group, the Andrewettes, touring Europe and recording such classic hits as Let the Church Roll On and Look Up and Live. Also in 1961, Don Robey, the producer behind the famous Duke-Peacock labels, formed the Songbird label just for her. Working with a young Billy Preston and Andrae Crouch, she recorded the classic A Letter To Jesus, which became a smash crossover hit. Throughout the 1960's, Inez continued to perform and record alternately as a soloist, with the Andrewettes, and with the Caravan Singers, who at the time included Delores Washington, Cassietta George, Josephine Howard, Albertina Walker and Shirley Caesar.
Inez Andrews went completely solo in 1971, garnering great success with a series of solo albums recorded throughout the 70's. Her internationally acclaimed 1972 album, Lord, Don V Move the Mountain crossed over to become a huge pop hit and went Gold. "When I recorded Looking Back Over My Life, which also became a hit in 1972, everybody thought I had gone pop. They wanted to
place me in the nightclub and then put me in hell. Give me a break!" says Andrews. "I tuned 'em out and kept on singing." She, along with ABC-recording artist Tessie Hill, is often credited with
the renaissance of Gospel music in the 70's. During the last decade, Inez has contin?ued her annual sold-out, six-week tours and recorded numerous chart-topping albums for the Savoy, Jewel, Ichiban and the Spirit Feel record labels. Every album has been filled with
classic Gospel songs from her prolific pen. With the release of her highly acclaimed 1991 WordEpic album, Raise Up A Nation, Inez Andrews once again proved she is a Gospel mega-star who is deservedly enjoying a new wave of immense popularity.
This evening's performance marks Ms. Andrews' UMS debut.

TOTUS TUUS
Henryk Gorecki
Born December 6, 1933 in Czernica, Poland
The Polish composer Henryk Gorecki is one of the foremost Eastern European composers to have come to the attention of the West since the freeing of borders between East and West in 1989. Recordings of his Third Symphony have become among the best-selling classical albums of all time, even reaching the top of the Billboard magazine "Crossover Pop" charts. This popularity is probably attributable to the fact that his music has a simple sincerity com?bined with great strength.
Gorecki, who lives in relatively humble circumstances in the coalmining town of Katowice in the south of Poland, is a devout Catholic, and Tolus tuus [for a capella choir] is an extend5 ed paean of praise to the Virgin Mary. The work was written for an open-air Mass in Victory Square, Warsaw, in July 1987, to celebrate the third return visit by Pope John Paul II to his home country.
Maria!
Totus tuus sum, Maria, Mater nostri Redemptoris Virgo Dei, virgo pia, Mater mundi Salvatons Totus tuus sum, Maria!
Maria Boguslawska
0 Mary!
1 am wholly thine, O Mary, mother of our Redeemer
virgin (mother) of God, holy virgin, mother of the Savior of the world, I am wholly thine, O Mary!

Josquin Desprez
Born c. 1440 in Hainault or Henegouwen, Burgundy
Died August 27, 7521 in Conde-Sur-Escaut

Clement Janequin
Born c. 1485 in Chdtellerault, France
Died in 1558 in Paris
The large sixteenth-century repertoire of madrigals, or chansons, by French composers treat amorous subjects either in a suave courtly vein or in a popular and often ribald manner. The Gothic tradition of setting strict verse forms in tedious and complex repetitive forms was abandoned by Josquin Desprez, who generally preferred shorter stanzas treated in a simpler style. Josquin's skill in polyphonic writing became a model for the next generation of composers, which included his disciple Clement Janequin, the French master of the anecdotal and onomatopoeic chanson.
The chansons in five and six voices have a very special place in the output of Josquin Desprez. They must be among his last works, written after his return to the tiny French town of Conde in 1504, when he was probably in his early 6o's. Before then, his prominent international career had taken him to many of the grandest courts and his main compositions had been the motets and Mass cycles that were to have massive impact on all composers of the sixteenth century (indeed, in the entire history of music, perhaps only Beethoven and Stravinsky have had comparable impact, and for similar reasons: Josquin forged a new means of expression, and a new musical vocabulary so rich in potential that hundreds of other composers were able to build on the style and use it to their own ends). Now, in his old age, he turned to these litde songs, works of an extraordinary complexity that never interferes with their musical impact.
In all of these songs, two of the voices are in canon; most of them borrow material from elsewhere, often from the popular sphere, and each one seems to pose (and solve) a particular compositional problem. These chansons also had a major influence on composers long after his death in 1521. They were reprinted as late as 1555, and they established six voices as an accepted medium for secular song. Furthermore, they show the old man, who had revolu?tionized the world of the motet and the Mass, now entirely changing course and overturning yet another genre, though in a thoroughly unique way.
Janequin was famous in his own lifetime for his use of bird-song and other programmatic effects (such as the descriptive cries and noises of the battlefield in La guerre) in his music. Relatively little is known about his life, but he composed over 250 chansons, two of which he later included in his two Masses, and in his later years he setded in Paris, becoming Compositeur du Roi (composer to the King) and he entered Paris University as a student after the age of 70.

.The other day I was wandering around I met a girl who was shapely, Smiling sweetly, I tried to kiss her; She tries to put me off, But I insist, saying Let it happen, come on.
The game of getting it in Is one worth playing.
Her refusal should have been enough, But I treat her to all my charm, Smiling sweetly, I tried to kiss her, She makes a noise, And wriggles furiously, Let it happen, come on.
The game of getting it in Is one worth playing.

The Waking Father
Damn Aric Hagen
Born in 1961 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The Waking Father was, commissioned by The King's Singers and was premiered at Seiji Ozawa Hall at the Tanglewood Music Festival in July 1995.
The composer writes:
Paul Muldoon and I met during the summer of 1988 at Yaddo, an artist colony in upstate New York. Liking him immediately, I asked if I might read some of his work. He loaned me his Selected Poems, 1968-1986 to read before dinner. The meal came and went, but I realized -holed up in my studio and unable to put the book down -that I had found my ideal collaborator. I don't remember if I told Paul this at the time. I did manage to leave Yaddo with the book, though. I have been setting his verse ever since. A year later, we met again at the MacDowell Colony. Paul was working on Madoc: A Mystery, and I was writing a piece called Heliotrope for the Brooklyn Philharmonic. One evening, just before supper, an opera company called and asked me if I was interested in writing an opera. Paul was seated a few feet away, read?ing the paper. I leaned out of the telephone booth and asked him if he would like to write a libretto. He agreed, and two years later, the Madison Opera premiered Shining Brow, our opera about American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The King's Singers happened to be in the audience on the night of the premiere. A few months later, they asked me to write something new for them. In Sandpoint, Idaho, during the summer of 1994,1 composed The Waking Father. Naturally, I turned to Paul for the texts; I asked him to choose several dozen that he thought I might try, and I chose a handful of my favorites. From these I fashioned a cycle, lasting approximately twenty minutes. Only in retrospect did I
realize that I had composed a musical portrait of my friend and collaborator.
The King's Singers were an ongoing source of inspiration throughout the craft?ing of this piece; it was written especially for them and is dedicated to them.
Daron Aric Hagen was born in 1961 Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the age of fifteen, his orchestral music came to the attention of Leonard Bernstein, whose enthusiastic comments led to Hagen's eventual enrollment at the Curtis Institute of Music. While still a student there, his music was introduced by the Philadelphia Orchestra, an honor last bestowed on the work of the young Samuel Barber. Before graduating from Juilliard, Hagen had already begun fulfilling commis?sions from the New York Philharmonic and other major American orchestras.
International critical and popular acclaim did not come however until the 1993 premiere by the Madison Opera (Wisconsin) of his first major theatrical work, Shining Brma, about American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He is currendy at work on a new opera with his librettist partner Paul Muldoon, this one a surreal farce called Vera oJIms Vegas. Recently completed projects include Built Up Dark for the Milwaukee Chamber Orchestra, Concerto for Brass Quintet for die Wisconsin Brass Quintet, The Waking Father for The King's Singers, and Taliesin: Choruses from Shining Brow for the Madison Symphony and Chorus premiered in Fall 1995.
Major symphonic works have been commissioned and performed by such orchestras as the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Saint Louis Symphony, Milwaukee Symphony, Houston Symphony, Brooklyn Philharmonic, Denver Chamber Orchestra, American Symphony Chamber Orchestra, Chicago Civic Orchestra, as well as the Columbus, Madison, Long Beach, and Oakland East Bay symphony orchestras, almost all of which have scheduled repeat performances. Ballets have been mounted
by Ballet Pacifica in California, TheJuiUiard Dance Division and the William Douglas Dancers, and he has written a film score for the Sundance Institute for Television and Film. Numerous chamber groups tour with his compositions, including the Debussy Trio, Encore Brass Quintet, The King's Singers, the Wisconsin Brass Quintet, the Lehner Trio and Sonus, among others. Daron Hagen has appeared as piano soloist with orchestras including the Denver Chamber Orchestra, the Hudson Valley Philharmonic and the Orchestra Society of Philadelphia, with which he also appeared regularly as a guest conductor since 1982, and he also is an active chamber musician. He has contributed essays and reviews to various music periodicals, and is also Founding Director of the twelve-year-old Perpetuum Mobile New Music Series. Now aged thirty-three, he lives in New York City with his musician spouse Donna.
The Waking Father
Poems by Paul Muldoon
1. The Waking Father
My Father and I are catching spricklies Out of the Oona River. They have us feeling righteous, The way we have thrown them back. Our benevolence is astounding.
When my father stoody out in the shallows
It occurred to me
The spriklies might have been piranhas,
The river a red carpet
Rolling out from where he had just stood,
Or I wonder now if he is dead or sleeping. For if he is dead I would have his grave Secret and safe;
I would turn the river out of its course, Lay him in its bed, bring it round again.
No one would question
That he had treasures or his being a king,
Telling now of the real fish farther down.
a. Oscar
Be that as it may, I'm wakened by the moans
not of the wind
nor the wood-demons
but Oscar MacOscair, as we call the hound
who's wangled himself
into our bed: 'Why' 'Why not'
He lies between us like an ancient quoof with a snoth of perished gutta-percha, and whines at something on the roof.
I'm suddenly mesmerized
by what I was only today: a pair of high
heels
abandoned on the road to Amherst.
And I've taken off, over the towns of Keady and Aughnacloy and Caledon -El in Arcadie --
to a grave lit by acetylene
in which, though she preceded him
by a good ten years, my mother's skeleton
has managed to worm
its way back on top of the old man's,
and once again she has him under her
thumb.
3. Thrush
I guessed the letter
Must be yours. I recognized The cuttle ink,
The serif on The P. I read the postmark on the date,
Impatience held By a paperweight.
I took your letter at eleven To the garden
With my tea.
And suddenly the yellow gum secreted
Halfway up The damson bush
Had grown a shell. I let those scentless pages fall
And took it In my feckless hand. I turned it over
On its back To wash your mouth
Withdraw. Making a lean, white fist Out of my freckled hand.
4. The Fox
Such an alarm
as was raised last night
by the geese
on John Mackle's goose farm.
I got up and opened the Venetian blind. You lay three fields away
in Collegelands graveyard, in ground so wet you weren't so much buried there as drowned.
That was a month ago.
I see your face
above its bib
pumped full of formaldehyde.
You seem engrossed, as if I'd come on you painfully writing your name with a carpenter's pencil
on the lid
of a mushroom box. You're saying, Go back to bed. It's only yon dog-fox.
5Dancers at the Moy
This Italian square And circling plain Black once with mares And their stallions. The flat Blackwater Turning its stones
Over hour after hour As their hooves shone And lifted together Under the black rain. One or other Greek war Now coloured the town
Blacker than ever before With hungry stallions And their hungry mares Like hammocks of skin, The flat Blackwater Unable to contain
Itself as horses poured Over acres of grain In a black and gold river. No bands of Athenians Arrived at the Moy fair To buy for their campaign.
Peace having been declared And a treaty signed, The black and gold river Ended as a trickle of brown Where those horses tore at briars and whins,
Ate the flesh of each other Like people in famine. The flat Blackwater Hobbled on its stones With a wild stagger And sag in its backbone,
The local people gathered The white skeletons. Horses buried for years Under the foundations Give their earthen floors The ease of trampolines.
6. The Panther
For what it's worth, the last panther in
Massachusetts was brought to justice in the woods beyond these meadows and hung by its heels from a meat-hook in what is now our kitchen.
(The house itself is something of a conundrum, built as it was by an Ephraim Cowan from Antrim.)
I look in one evening while Jean
is jelly making. She has rendered down
pounds of grapes and crab-apples to a single jar
at once impenetrable and clear; 'Something's missing. This simply won't take.'
The air directly under the meat-hook --
it quakes, it quickens;
on a flagstone, the smudge of the tippy-tip
of
its nose.
7. Bran
While he looks into the eyes of women Who have let themselves go, While they sigh and they moan For pure joy,
He weeps for the boy on that small farm
Who takes an oatmeal Labrador
In his arms,
Who knows all there is of rapture.
8. [Vico]
A hand-wringing, small, grey squirrel
plods
along a wicker
treadmill that's attached by an elaborate system of levers
and cogs and cranks and pulleys and gears
and cams and cinches and sprags and sprockets and spindles
and tappets and trundles and spirochetes and winches
and jennies and jiggers and pawls and pranks
and the whole palaver of rods and ratchets
to a wicker
treadmill in which there plods
a hand-wringing, small, grey squirrel.
Enough of Colette and Celine, Celine and
Palu Celan;
enough of whether Nabokov
taught at Wellesley or Wesleyan.
Now let us talk of slaughter and the slain,
the heliocopter gun-ship, the mighty
Kalashnikov;
let's rest for a while in a place where a cow
has lain.
10. V
Now that I had some idea of our whereabouts
We could slow a little and not be afraid.
Who was that Only the bull behind the
hedge,
It was showing us the whites of its eyes.
Why should those women be carrying water If all the wells were poisoned, as they said, And the fish littering the river Had the sheep been divided from the goats. Were Twin and Twin at each other's throats
I knew these fields. How long were they fallow Those had been Archer's sixty yellow acres. These Hunter's forty green and grey. Had Hunter and Archer got it into their heads That they would take the stars in their strides
11. The Mixed Marriage
My father was a servant-boy.
When he left school at ten or eleven
He took up billhook and loy
To win the ground he would never own.
My mother was the school-mistress. The world of Castor and Pollux. There were twins in her own class. She could never tell which was which.
She had read one volume of Proust, He knew the cure for farcy. I flitted between a hold in the hedge And a room in the Latin Quarter.
When she had cleared the supper-table She opened The Acts of the Apostles, Aesop's Fables, Gulliver's Travels. Then my mother went on upstairs
And my father further dimmed the light To get back to hunting with ferrets Or the factions of the faction-fights -the Ribbon Boys, the Caravats.
12. Cherish the Ladies
In this, my last poem about my father, there may be time enough for him to fill their drinking-trough and run his eye over
his three moolet heifers.
Such a well-worn path,
I know, from here to the galvanized bath.
I know, too, you would rather
saw behind the hedge to where the pride of the herd, thought now an Irish bull, would cherish the ladies with his electric cattle-prod.
As it is, in my last poem about my father he opens the stand-pipe and the water scurriees along the hose till it's curled
in the bath. One heifer
may look up
and make a mental note, then put her nose
back to the salt-lick of the world.
Folksongs from Ireland
Tonight's choice of songs has been almost impossible to make, given the tremendous wealth of material that was born in the British Isles, and more specifi?cally Ireland. The influences and sources of folk material are extraordinarily far-ranging and each song has its own regional and fre?quently religious characteristics, making the selection process somewhat arbitrary, given the quantity we had to choose from!
The folksongs we know in Britain today have been part of our heritage ever since simple medieval hymn tunes were given sec?ular words, and minstrels started on their musical rounds. They have served as a basis of musical masterpieces from the thirteenth century to the present, and much of the (now barely understood) imagery in their words finds its parallel in Renaissance painting.
In the early part of the twentieth century, the pioneering work of folksong collectors such as Cecil Sharp brought forth a wealth of beautiful material, much neglected, but
familiar through the widely varying regional versions of many texts and melodies, like a musical version of "Chinese Whispers" played over the centuries.
Folksongs have been an integral part of the King's Singers' repertoire since their early performing days, and the collection sung tonight represents but a portion of the rich treasure collected and arranged for The King's Singers over the years. Indeed many of these songs can be found on two of the group's most successful recordings, Annie Laurie and Watching the White Wheat (both on AngelEMI).
By Arrangement
Selections Featuring Some of Our Finest Arrangers
This part of our concerts features interpreta?tions of songs by some of the finest arrangers who have worked or are now working for The King's Singers. To a large extent, the sound of the group has been fashioned and extended by the work of these arrangers in all its variety: classical artsongs, folksongs, and contemporary popular songs.
It is to these talented musicians that we would like to pay tribute tonight by offering you a profile of their fine work. Let the "unsung" heroes be "unsung" no more!
The six Englishmen known as The King's Singers enjoy the distinc?tion of being one of the world's most sought-after and acclaimed vocal ensembles. The group's universal popularity stems from their unique ability to communicate the sheer enjoyment of singing vast and eclectic repertoire, whether it is a sixteenth-century madrigal, a world premiere of a commissioned work, a sacred choral masterpiece, a Japanese folksong or one of their trademark, close-harmony arrangements of a top-40 hit. After a quarter-century, The King's Singers full schedule of performances, recordings and television appearances around the world continues to reflect their stylistic versatility and remarkable musicianship.
The King's Singers began their 1 gg5 summer season in Japan, performing eight concerts in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. They appeared at several leading festivals in the United States, including the Tanglewood Festival, where they will presented the world premiere of a newly commissioned work by Daron Aric Hagen entitled The Waking Father, set to poems by Paul Muldoon. Other festival appearances included Ravinia, Interlochen, Brevard, and the Minnesota Orchestra's Sommerfest. They also performed on the inaugural summer series in Santa Fe, and gave a recital and master classes at the Texas
Choral Director's annual con?ference in San Antonio.
This season, The King's Singers return to South Africa for a seven-city recital tour -their first in that country in more than 10 years. In the United States and Canada, the group will perform more than 35 con?certs coast-to-coast, including
appearances at Carnegie Hall and recitals in Ann Arbor, Kansas City, Miami, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Diego and Seattle. Orchestral appearances in North America include return engagements with the Toronto and Milwaukee symphony orchestras. Abroad, The King's Singers will perform throughout Austria and Germany, including recitals in Cologne, Hamburg, Munich and Innsbruck. They perform in concert with Carl Davis and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and give recitals in Italy, Switzerland, and their native United Kingdom, before concluding the season with a recital tour of the Netherlands.
Since their initial professional season in 1968, the ensemble, which was formed at King's College in Cambridge, has performed the most diverse repertoire of any vocal group in the world. Committed to presenting music from the twentieth-century, they have com?missioned more than 200 new works from a host of prominent living composers, includ?ing Richard Rodney Bennett, Luciano Berio, Peter Maxwell Davies, Gyorgy Ligeti, Gian-Carlo Menotti, Thea Musgrave, Krysztof Penderecki, Ned Rorem and Gundier Schuller. Recent commissions and world premiere performances include Richard Rodney Bennett's Sermons and Devotions, The Bishop and The Pagan by Estonian-born Veljo Tormis, R. Murray Schaefer's Tristan and Iseult, and the sixth in a series of Nonsense Madrigals by Gyorgy Ligeti. Upcoming commissions include a work for The King's Singers and chorus by Libby Larsen, to be given its premiere during the 1996-97 season.
The King's Singers are familiar to American television audiences through their numerous television specials, including a tribute to Paul McCartney with the Boston Pops in 1992; their own six-part series on the "Arts & Entertainment" network entitled The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour, The Art of The King's Singers, a documentary released on home video in 1991 that follows
the everyday life of the ensemble with footage on the road, in rehearsal and performance, and in a master class setting; an Emmy award-winning ABC Christmas show with Julie Andrews, Placido Domingo and John Denver; and appearances on the Tonight Shmv.
The ensemble has been heard frequently on the American Public Radio and National Public Radio networks, as well as on Minnesota's Public Radio's St. Paul Sunday Morning. Complementing dieir record releases in 1995 was the first European showings of a Finnish-made documentary on the Singers filmed in Estonia and Finland.
The King's Singers celebrated their 25th anniversary season in 1993-94 with a Silver Jubilee tour that took them to virtually every major concert hall in cities throughout the world. During their first quarter-century, the ensemble's North American engagements have included appearances at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Ann Arbor's Hill Auditorium, the orchestral halls of Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Atlanta, San Francisco, the Ambassador Auditorium in Pasadena, as well as concerts at the Tanglewood Music Festival and the Hollywood Bowl. In addition to hundreds of a capella recitals, they have also collaborated with many North American orchestras including the Minnesota Orchestra, National Symphony in Washington, D.C., the Boston Pops, and the Adanta, Detroit, St. Louis and Toronto symphonies.
Now in their second quarter-century, The King's Singers continue to expand their repertoire while maintaining the choral tra?dition and original spirit of the group, once described by die Washington Post as "the ulti?mate musical instrument at an advanced stage of development in the art of ensemble singing."
This evening's performance marks the fifth appearance of the King's Singers under UMS auspices.

Francois-Frederic Chopin
Born c. March i, 1810 in Zelazowa Wola, Poland Died October 17, 1849 in Paris
The Ballade No. 2 was drafted in 1836. That year he met the woman of his life, the notori-1 ous "George Sand," one of Romanticism's authentic phenomena -a cigar-smoking baroness who supported herself and her children by writing voluminously. Her seduction of Chopin and his subsequent infatuation with her may have contributed to the trouble he had perfecting the piece, for he revised it first in 1838, then again in 1839 -before publishing it in 1840. This was die period of his misery on the isle of Mallorca with Sand and her children. Is the Ballade autobiographical We may wish it so, but evidence from Chopin himself points to a literary source rooted deep in Polish nationalism: the ballades of Chopin's friend, the poet Adam Mickiewicz. Chopin told Robert Schumann so. Speculative scholarship by French pianist Alfred Cortot has linked this piece to a specific poem, a brief summary of which may stimulate the listener to appreciate the narrative tone of this impassioned work:
The Lake of the Willis -its waters smooth as a mirror in which -at night, the stars admire themselves -lies near the spot where Russian hordes once laid siege with terrifying effect to a Polish city. To escape the shame of being subjugated by tlieir conquerors, the young maidens there pray to Heaven for a miracle -and are swallowed up by the earth which suddenly opens beneath their feet. Changed into mysterious flowers, they ever since have adorned the edges of the lake. Woe to him xvho touches them!
Two Nocturnes, Op. 37 appeared in print the same year as the Ballade just heard. Of these "night pieces," No. 1 is distinguished by the descending lines of its melancholy
outer sections and by the ascending lines of its pious, chorale-like central part. In his review of this work, Schumann acknowledged the score's uniqueness: "Chopin no longer needs to sign his works; his name is hence?forth attached to each of their notes." No. 2 reminds most listeners of a barcarolle -with two themes which alternate tranquilly. A passage in Sand's diary describing the couple's nocturnal voyage to Mallorca in 1839 seems apropos of this music: The night was dark, illumined only by an extraordinary phosphorescence in the wake of the ship; everybody on board was asleep except the steersman who, to keep himself awake, sang all night, but in a voice so soft and subdued that one thought he feared to awaken the men of the watch, or that he himself was half asleep.
With the Rondo, Op. 5, we turn from Chopin the lover to Chopin the teenage stu?dent at the Warsaw Conservatory. Dubbed "a la Mazurka"by its publisher in 1828, this ebullient amalgam of mazurka-like ideas in rondo form actually was written two years earlier, when Chopin was sixteen. It is a rare treat to hear this example of the genius-in-embryo. It shows us the degree of the boy's development -his euphonious roulades, bouncing rhythms and chromatic key changes -which were so much a source of pride for his teacher, Josef Eisner.
The Sonata, Op. 4, completed in the year of the rondo's publication, shows us Chopin the young man only one year away from embarking on his professional career. It, too, is seldom heard -despite its felicities. The "Allegro maestoso" (in c minor) shows every trait of a well-schooled talent: good motivic interplay, consistent voice-leading, accomplished harmony and fluent counter?point. The "Menuetto" (in E-flat Major) features some clever cross accents and, both in its main body and in its Trio section (e-flat minor), canonic imitation between the two hands. The "Larghetto" (A-flat Major) successfully introduces a meter of
five beats per bar and, in its melodic line, the gift of embellishment so characteristic of Chopin. The finale, "Presto" (c minor), is even more representative in its restless energy, sweeping arpeggios and right-hand double-notes. Listening to the Sonata therefore becomes a journey from aspects of the clas?sically "correct" (in the first two movements) to the uncertain but exciting newness of Romanticism (in the last two movements). The canny Eisner noted the development of his young charge in his annual evaluations: "Exceptionally gifted" (1827, the year Beethoven died); "Extraordinarily endowed" (1828, the year Schubert died); and, "A musical genius" (1829, the year Chopin left Eisner) -a judgment with which history has agreed overwhelmingly.
With Four Mazurkas, Op. 30, we return to Chopin the adult about whom-Hunecker writes, "Here is the poet Chopin, the poet who, with Burns, interprets the simple strains of the folk, who blinds us with color and rich romanticism like Keats and lifts us Shelley-wise to transcendental azure." If we think that observation a bit over-drawn, then let us note that in 1837, when he was twenty-seven, Chopin completed these pieces, pre?sented the world with his Twelve Etudes, Op. 25 and was already at work on his Preludes. No. l's wistfulness contrasts with No. 2's liveliness, which is exceeded by No. 3's greater animation and surpassed by No. 4's sheer magic. Among the truly great of Chopin's many Mazurkas, this last of Op. 30 is a true masterpiece, from its striking beginning to the wholly original coda which combines two of the principal themes. The dancing feet of Poland's peasants have nowhere been better evoked.
The Ballade No. 1 was first sketched in 1831, but Chopin did not complete it until four years later. Oddly, there is only a single documented performance by the composer of the new work -in 1836, the year he published it, first met Mme Sand, and draft-
ed the Ballade which opened this program. The occasion was a private concert for Schumann, who wrote afterward that it showed "genius" and that it was his favorite among Chopin's pieces. Cortot linked this music to another of Mickiewicz's ballades:
Conrad Wallenrod, leaving a banquet in an overexcited, drunken state, stuns his fellow Poles with praises for the Moorish exploits against the Spanish -who not only oppressed them but gave them the plague, leprosy and other frightful diseases -and vows that he, likewise, will breathe the breath of death to his adversaries in a fatal embrace.
Present fashion in musicology decries such literal associations as those which Cortot suggested for the two Ballades performed in this program. The focus today is on Chopin's original explorations of the bounds of har?mony, his struggles with abstract form and his influence on later piano music in France. However, such have rarely been the concerns of the popular press and never of the listen?ing public at large. These Ballades captivate us precisely because they stir associations with the world of ideas beyond music. They are, for us, a kind of poetry. And we would do well to recall that a Parisian newspaper of Chopin's day once dubbed him "the Mickiewicz of the piano. . ."
The Three Mazurkas, Op. 56 were com?posed in 1843 and published in the next year for a ready market. Mazurkas, after all, were what Chopin wrote more of than any?thing else. He published forty-one of them during his lifetime and left another twelve or so in manuscript. Their design usually permits amateur performance (a quality much valued by publishers) but the expres?sion of their content can elude all but the most sophisticated interpreters. Chopin's mazurkas constitute a microcosm of Polish folk dance ideas susceptible to infinite varia?tion. These at hand seem to be highly
refined reminiscences of the more carefree examples heard earlier -wistful and, per?haps, regretful. No. 1 's large structure and elaborate harmony mask an introverted soul
-Chopin himself -lost in nostalgia. No. 2 starts with so graphic an image of colorfully-clad peasants engaged in lively dancing that the listener is carried along expecting more of the same -but the image fades away, becoming only a memory of what it was. No. 3, a great favorite of many pianists, displays a large format with many exquisite turns of phrase and ingenuities of harmony yet it, too, is more an evocation of the Poland which Chopin abandoned than any realization of it.
Two Nocturnes, Op. 55 were composed in the summer of 1843 and published the year after with a dedication to Miss Jane Stirling, a wealthy Scottish spinster who studied with Chopin and adored him. It was Miss Stirling who arranged Chopin's tour in Scotland the year before he died, who aided the composer financially in his final months, who oversaw sculptor Auguste Clesinger's funerary monument for the Pere-Lachaise Cemetery, and who bought the majority of Chopin's estate. Of "her" Nocturnes, No. 1 is a gem, the unornamented opening melody of which is heard over and over before a dramatic intermezzo interrupts its plaint. Two bars only of this melody return before disappearing under a soft veil of accelerating triplets. If its effect may be called magical, that of No. 2 must be termed majesterial for, in it, Chopin achieves the seemingly impossible: three lines of music
-one to spread a velvet cloth of harmony from beginning to end and two to sing in bejeweled counterpoint against it -in an almost unbroken, weightless continuity, hovering above this world in the realm of pure emotion.
The Scherzo No. 2 appeared in 1837. We know from Chopin's pupil Wilhelm von Lenz that its odd opening -two quiet unison gestures and a loud chordal response (hear
four times) -was meant as a question that could "never be played questioningly enough, never round enough, never suffi?ciently weighted." To Chopin, who once said, "It must be a house of the dead," this section was "the key to the whole piece." And the lyrical theme which follows should remind the player "of the singer Pasta, of Italian song!" Others, lacking Chopin's direct comment, tended to make literary associations for this thrilling but enigmatic work: Schumann found it to be "Byronic" while Moritz Karasowski deemed it "Shakespearean." One imagines the piece at the hands of its composer whose visionary communication in performance Schumann described as being "like a Clairvoyant, lost in his dreams."
Notes by Frank Coooper, O 1995
Mr. Cooper teaclies at the New World School of the Arts in Miami and at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida.
Pianist Garrick Ohlsson is an interpreter of great original?ity, whose playing combines supreme elegance with extraordinary tonal projec?tion. These qualities have placed him among the ranks of the world's foremost pianists.
A pianist of enormous musical and technical resource, Mr. Ohlsson commands an unusually wide and eclectic repertoire, which ranges from the works of Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, and Brahms, to twentieth-century masters such as Busoni, Prokofiev, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, and Bartok. His concerto repertoire alone numbers some seventy works for piano and orchestra.
Mr. Ohlsson is considered to be one of today's finest interpreters of the music of Frederic Chopin. In January 1995, Mr.
Ohlsson embarked on this six-concert series devoted exclusively to Chopin's works for solo piano. These performances are taking place in Ann Arbor under University Musical Society auspices, at SUNY Purchase, and at Alice Tully Hall under the auspices of Lincoln Center's distinguished "Great Performers" Series. In addition, this season, Mr. Ohlsson will initiate the complete cycle in North York (Toronto) Canada. He has also programmed all-Chopin recitals in Buffalo, at Bucknell University and George Mason University, as well as recitals in Paris and in the Czech and Slovak Republics.
Mr. Ohlsson's orchestral appearances in North America and Europe this season will
include perfor?mances in Liverpool, London and Birmingham with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra; in Monte Carlo with the Monte Carlo orchestra; in Paris and Amsterdam
with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra; in Prague with the Czech Philharmonic; at Carnegie Hall in New York with the Detroit Symphony; with the Cleveland and Philadelphia Orchestras; the Atlanta, Houston, Jacksonville, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Portland (OR), San Francisco and Seattle Symphonies; and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.
A chamber musician who has collabo?rated with such ensembles as the Cleveland, Emerson, Takacs, and Tokyo String Quartets, Mr. Ohlsson has made numerous chamber music appearances, most recently a concert featuring the Franck Quintet in f minor with the Guarneri Quartet at New York's Alice Tully Hall in April 1994, and a violinpiano
recital with Gil Shaham at the Colorado Music Festival in August 1995. Together with violinist Jorja Fleezanis and cellist Michael Grebanier, he is a founding member of the San Francisco-based FOG Trio.
Mr. Ohlsson is a prolific recording artist who can be heard on the Arabesque, Angel, Delos, Nonesuch, Telarc and Virgin Classics labels. He is currently recording the complete works for solo piano of Frederic Chopin for Arabesque; Volume Six, the Nocturnes was released this year.
Mr. Ohlsson was born in White Plains, New York where be began his piano studies at the age of eight. He attended the Westchester Conservatory of Music and at thirteen he entered The Juilliard School. In high school, Mr. Ohlsson demonstrated an extraordinary aptitude for mathematics and languages, but the concert stage remained his true career objective.
Mr. Ohlsson's musical development has been influenced in completely different ways by a succession of distinguished teachers, most notably Claudio Arrau, Olga Barabini, Tom Lishman, Sascha Gorodnitzki, Rosina Lhevinne, and Irma Wolpe. Although he won First Prizes at the 1966 Busoni Competition in Italy and the 1968 Montreal Piano Competition, it was his 1970 triumph at the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, where he won the Gold Medal, that brought him world-wide recognition as one of the finest pianists of his generation. Since that time, he has made nearly a dozen tours of Poland where to this day he remains virtual?ly a national hero. Mr. Ohlsson was awarded the Avery Fisher Prize in spring 1994.
When not on tour, Mr. Ohlsson divides his time between New York City and San Francisco.
This afternoon's recital marks Mr. Ohlsson's sixth UMS appearance.

Symphony No. 4 in B-flat, Op. 60
Ludwig van Beethoven
Born c. December 15, 1770 in Bonn, Germany
Died March 26, 182J in Vienna
The works Beethoven completed in the last half of 1806--the Fourth Symphony, the Violin Concerto, and the Fourth Piano Concerto among them--were finished rather rapidly by the composer following his extended struggle with the original version of his opera Fidelio, which occupied him from the end of 1804 until April 1806. The most important orchestral work he had produced before this time was the Eroica Symphony, in which he had overwhelmed his audiences with a forceful new musical language reflecting both his own inner struggles in the face of impending deafness and his awareness of the political atmosphere surrounding him. The next big orchestral work to embody this "heroic" style--with a striking overlay of defiance as well--would be the Fifth Symphony, which had begun to germinate in 1804, was worked out mainly in 1807, and was completed in 1808. But in the meantime a more relaxed sort of expression began to emerge, emphasizing a heightened sense of repose, a broadly lyric element, and a more spacious approach to musical architecture. The Fourth Symphony, the Violin Concerto, and the Fourth Piano Concerto share these characteristics to vary?ing degrees, but it is important to realize that these works, though completed around the same time, do not represent a unilateral change of direction in Beethoven's approach to music; rather they represent the emergence of a particular element that appeared strikingly at this time. Sketches for the Violin Concerto and the Fifth Symphony in fact occur side by side; and that the two aspects--lyric and aggressive--of Beethoven's musical expres?sion are not entirely separable is evident
also in the fact that ideas for both the Fifth and the Pastoral symphonies appear in the Eroica sketchbook of 1803-04. These two symphonies--the one strongly assertive, the other more gentle and subdued--were not completed until 1808, two years after the Violin Concerto. And it appears that Beethoven actually interrupted work on his Fifth Symphony so that he could compose the Fourth in response to a commission from the Silesian Count Franz von Oppersdorff, whom he had met through Prince Carl von Lichnowsky, one of his most important patrons during the early years in Vienna and the joint dedicatee, together with Count Razumovsky, of the Fifth and Sixth symphonies.
So Beethoven's Fourth Symphony partakes successfully and wonderfully of both these worlds, combining a relaxed and lyrical ele?ment with a mood of exuberantly aggressive high spirits. The key is B-flat, which suggests --insofar as we can describe the effects of different musical keys--a realm of spacious?ness, relaxation, and warmth, in contrast, for example, to the "heroic" E-flat of the Third Symphony and the Emperor concerto, the "defiant" c minor of the Fifth, and the "heaven-storming" d minor of the Ninth.
Beethoven actually begins the first move?ment with a slow introduction in a mysteri?ously pianissimo b-flat minor, moving still further from the home key until trumpets and drums force the music back to b-flat, and the major mode, of the "Allegro vivace." Once the "Allegro" is underway, all is energy and motion, with even the more seemingly relaxed utterances of the woodwinds in service to the prevailing level of activity.
The E-flat Major "Adagio" sets a cantabile theme against a constandy pulsating accom?paniment, all moving at a relaxed pace which allows for increasingly elaborate figuration in both melody and accompaniment as the movement proceeds. The second theme is a melancholy and wistful song for solo clarinet, all the more effective when it reappears follow-
ing a fortissimo outburst from the full orchestra.
The scherzo, another study in motion, is all ups and downs. Beethoven repeats the Trio in its entirety following the scherzo's return (a procedure he will follow again in the third movement of the Seventh Symphony). A third statement of the scherzo is cut short by an emphatic rejoinder from the horns.
The whirlwind finale is yet anodier exer?cise in energy, movement, and dynamic con?trasts. The composer Carl Maria von Weber, who didn't much like this symphony when he was young and it was new, imagined the double bass complaining: "I have just come from the rehearsal of a Symphony by one of our newest composers; and though, as you know, I have a tolerably strong constitution, I could only just hold out, and five minutes more would have shattered my frame and burst the sinews of my life. I have been made to caper about like a wild goat, and to turn myself into a mere fiddle to execute the no-ideas of Mr. Composer." Beethoven's approach in this movement is wonderfully tongue-in-cheek and no-holds-barred; the solo bassoon, leading us into the recapitulation, is asked to play "dolce" ("sweetly") when he's probably thankful just to get the notes in. Only at the end is there a brief moment of rest, to prepare the headlong rush to the final cadence.
Eine Alpensinfonie
(An Alpine Symphony), Op. 64
Richard Strauss
Born June 11, 1864 in Munich
Died September 8, 1949 in Garmisch-
Partenkirchen
Born in Munich, Richard Strauss secured his reputation as the leading German com?poser of his time with the series of orchestral tone poems that included, between 1886 and 1903, Macbeth, Don Juan, Death and
Transfiguration, Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks, Thus Spake Zarathustra, Don Quixote, Ein Heldenleben (A Hero's Life), and, adding insult to injury, as far as his critics were con?cerned, after portraying himself as Heldenleben's composer-hero, the Symphonia domestica, in which the resources of Strauss's huge orches?tra were employed to depict a typical day in the life of the composer's family, complete with screaming baby, family feud, and extended romantic reconciliation. It would be another dozen years before Strauss fin?ished the last of his tone poems: An Alpine Symphony would only be composed (1911-15) after he had turned his attention to opera, completing Salome, Elektra, and Der Rosenkavalier (Ariadne aufNaxos was a work in progress).
In fact, the germ for Strauss's final large-scale purely symphonic work can be traced to a boyhood mountain-climbing expedition during which his group lost its way heading up and was drenched in a storm coming down. Later, in igoo, following the comple?tion of Heldenleben, Strauss wrote his parents that he had an idea for a symphonic poem "which would begin with a sunrise in Switzerland." But he finally began sketching the work only after using the royalties from Salome to build his Alpine villa at Garmisch in 1908. (He and his wife, the soprano Pauline de Ahna, lived there for the rest of their lives.)
Strauss completed the score of An Alpine Symphony on February 8, 1915, dedicating it "in profound gratitude" to Count Nicolaus Seebach, director of the Royal Opera in Dresden, where Salome, Elektra, and Der Rosenkavalier had their premieres. The first performance was given by the Dresden Hofkapelle under the composer's direction, but in Berlin, where Strauss was conductor of the Berlin Opera from 1898 to 1908, and where he also conducted concerts with the Berlin Tonkunstler Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic. (It should be remembered
that, like Mahler, Strauss was regarded equally as both composer and conductor.) During rehearsals for An Alpine Symphony, the composer commented that he had at last learned how to orchestrate--reminding us how much he had benefited from writing for the large-scale operatic orchestras of Salome, Eleklra, and Der Rosenkavalier.
The premiere of An Alpine Symphony went largely unnoticed, but with World War I then in its second year, there were larger issues on people's minds. But Strauss was not dissatisfied. Years later, when he was invited to London for a festival of his music in October 1947, he wrote that, of all his orchestral works, he would most have pre?ferred to conduct the Alpine Symphony, though in the event--owing to difficulties with the size of the orchestra--he settled for the Symphonia domestica.
An Alpine Symphony is a spectacular piece of musical pictorialism with numerous clearly and aptly characterized themes and ideas from a composer for whom producing this kind of music was virtually second-nature. (According to Strauss's biographer Norman Del Mar, the composer once claimed "that he could, if necessary, describe a knife and fork in music") And it has an added spiri?tual dimension, which the composer himself recognized: the death on May 18, 1911, of Strauss's friend Gustav Mahler, in whose music nature-painting plays an extremely significant role, affected Strauss very deeply. In his notebook he wrote that An Alpine Symphony represented "the ritual of purifica?tion through one's own strength, emancipa?tion through work, and the adoration of eternal, glorious nature." Following the specific, extremely subjective pictorialism of the score's mountain-climbing course from sunrise to sunset, the final two sections sug?gest that the composer has stepped back, to view the mountain, and nature, from some spiritual distance or remove. The music closes with an aura of spiritual acceptance
and then, finally, awe-inspired objectivity. An Alpine Symphony is in a single large movement about fifty minutes long and divided by headings in the score into twenty-two sections. The first two of these set the scene for the climbing expedition depicted in the course of the work. The summit of the mountain is reached midway through the journey, and, following the descent through a drenching downpour--during which many of the ideas heard earlier recur in reverse order, at a very quick pace, as the mountaineers hurriedly retrace their steps-the final sections serve as a coda to the whole.
Program notes by Marc Mandel
Notes O Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc.
Seiji Ozawa is now in his twenty-third season as music director of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Ozawa became the BSO's thirteenth music director in 1973, after a year as music adviser; his tenure with the Boston Symphony is the longest of any music director currently active with an American orchestra. In his more than two decades as music director, Mr. Ozawa has maintained the orchestra's distinguished reputation both at home and abroad, with concerts at Symphony Hall and Tanglewood, on tours to Europe, Japan, China, South America, and across the United States. He has upheld the BSO's commitment to new music through the commissioning of new works, including a series of centennial commissions marking the orchestra's hundredth birthday in 1981, and a series of works celebrating the fiftieth anniversary in 1990 of the Tanglewood Music Center, the orchestra's training pro?gram for young musicians. In addition, he
and the orchestra have recorded more than 130 works, representing more than fifty different composers, on ten labels. Mr. Ozawa has toured internationally and domestically with the orchestra on a regular basis since 1976. The present North American tour is the ninth tour by Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra to be sponsored by NEC, which since 1986 has been the BSO's corporate sponsor for tours of Europe, Japan, North America, and South America.
In addition to his work with the Boston Symphony, Mr. Ozawa appears regularly with the Berlin Philharmonic, the New Japan Philharmonic, the London Symphony, the Orchestre National de France, the Philharmonia of London, and the Vienna Philharmonic. He made his Metropolitan Opera debut in December 1992, appears regularly at La Scala and the Vienna Staatsoper, and has also conducted opera at the Paris Opera, Salzburg, and Covent Garden. In September 1992 he founded the Saito Kinen Festival in Matsumoto, Japan, in memory of his teacher Hideo Saito, a central figure in the cultivation of Western music and musical technique in Japan, and a co-founder of the Toho Gakuen School of Music in Tokyo. In addition to his many Boston Symphony recordings, Mr. Ozawa has recorded with die Berlin Philhar?monic, the Chicago Symphony, die London Philharmonic, the Orchestre National, 1'Orchestre de Paris, die Philharmonia of London, the Saito Kinen Orchestra, the San Francisco Symphony, the Toronto Symphony, and the Vienna Philharmonic, among others.
Born in 1935 in Shenyang, China, Seiji Ozawa studied music from an early age and later graduated widi first prizes in composi?tion and conducting from Tokyo's Toho School of Music. In 1959 he won first prize at the International Competition of Orchestra Conductors held in Besancon, France. Charles Munch, then music director of die
Boston Symphony, subsequently invited him to attend the Tanglewood Music Center, where he won the Koussevitzky Prize for out?standing student conductor in i960. While a student of Herbert von Karajan in West Berlin, Mr. Ozawa came to the attention of Leonard Bernstein, who appointed him assistant conductor of the New York Philhar?monic for the 1961-62 season. He made his first professional concert appearance in North America in January 1962, with the San Francisco Symphony. He was music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's Ravinia Festival for five summers beginning in 1964, music director of the Toronto Symphony from 1965 to 1969, and music director of the San Francisco Symphony from 1970 to 1976, followed by a year as that orchestra's music adviser. He conducted the Boston Symphony Orchestra for the first time in 1964, at Tanglewood, and made his first Symphony Hall appearance with the orchestra in January ig68. In 1970 he became an artistic director of Tanglewood.
Mr. Ozawa recendy became the first recip?ient of Japan's Inouye Sho (Inouye Award), created to recognize lifetime achievement in the arts and named after this century's pre?eminent Japanese novelist, Yasushi Inouye. In September 1994 Mr. Ozawa received his second Emmy award, for Individual Achievement in Cultural Programming, for Dvorak in Prague: A Celebration, with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He won his first Emmy for die BSO's PBS television series Evening at Symphony. Mr. Ozawa holds honorary doctor of music degrees from the University of Massachusetts, the New England Conservatory of Music, and Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts.
This evening's performance marks Maestro Ozawa's sixth appearance under UMS auspices.

k I October 22, 1881,
H and has continued to . uphold the vision of
its founder, the philanthropist, Civil War veteran, and amateur musician Henry Lee Higginson, for more than a century. Under the leadership of Seiji Ozawa, its music director since 1973, the Boston Symphony Orchestra has performed throughout the United States, as well as in Europe, Japan, Hong Kong, China, and South America, and reaches audiences numbering in the millions through its performances on radio, television, and recordings. It plays an active role in commissioning new works from today's most important composers; its summer season at Tanglewood is regarded as one of the world's most important music festivals; it helps develop the audience of the future through BSO Youth Concerts and through a variety of outreach programs involving the entire Boston community; and, during the Tanglewood season, it sponsors the Tanglewood Music
Center, one of the world's most important training grounds for young composers, con?ductors, instrumentalists, and vocalists. The orchestra's virtuosity is reflected in the con?cert and recording activities of the Boston Symphony Orchestra Players, the world's only permanent chamber ensemble made up of a major symphony orchestra's principal players. The activities of the Boston Pops Orchestra have established an international standard for the performance of lighter kinds of music. Overall, the mission of making music consonant with the highest aspirations of musical art, creating performances and providing educational and training programs at the highest level of excellence. This is accomplished with the continued support of its audiences, governmental assistance of both the federal and local levels, and through the generosity of many foundations, businesses, and individuals.
Henry Lee Higginson dreamed of found?ing a great and permanent orchestra in his home town of Boston for many years before that vision approached reality in the spring of 1881. The following October, the first Boston Symphony Orchestra concert was given under the direction of conductor Georg Henschel, who would remain as music director until 1884. For nearly twenty years Boston Symphony concerts were held in the Old Boston Music Hall; Symphony Hall, one of the world's most highly regarded concert halls, was opened in 1900. Henschel was succeeded by a series of German-born and trained conductors -Wilhelm Gericke, Arthur Nikisch, Emil Paur, and Max Fiedler -culminating in the appointment of the legendary Karl Muck, who served two tenures as music director, 1906-08 and igi2-i8. Meanwhile, in July 1885, the musicians of the Boston Symphony Orchestra had given their first "Promenade" concert, offering both music and refreshments, and fulfilling Major Higginson's wish to give "concerts of a lighter kind of music." These concerts,
soon to be given in the springtime and renamed first "Popular" and then "Pops," fast became a tradition.
In 1915 the orchestra made its first transcontinental trip, playing thirteen concerts at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Recording, begun with RCA in 1917, continued with increasing frequency, as did radio broadcasts. In 1918 Henri Rabaud was engaged as conductor; he was succeeded a year later by Pierre Monteux. These appointments marked the beginning of a French-oriented tradition which would be maintained, even during the Russian-born Serge Koussevitzky's time, with the employ?ment of many French-trained musicians.
The Koussevitzky era began in 1924. His extraordinary musicianship and electric personality proved so enduring that he served an unprecedented term of twenty-five years. Regular radio broadcasts of Boston Symphony concerts began during Koussevitzky's years as music director. In 1936 Koussevitzky led the orchestra's first concerts in the Berkshires; a year later he and the players took up annual summer residence at Tanglewood. Koussevitzky passionately shared Major Higginson's dream of "a good honest school for musi?cians," and in 1940 that dream was realized with the founding of the Berkshire Music Center (now called the Tanglewood Music Center).
In 1929 the free Esplanade concerts on the Charles River in Boston were inaugurated by Arthur Fiedler, who had been a member of the orchestra since 1915 and who in 1930 became the eighteenth conductor of the Boston Pops, a post he would hold for half a century, to be succeeded by John Williams in 1980. The Boston Pops Orchestra cele?brated its hundredth birthday in 1985 under Mr. Williams' baton. Keith Lockhart was appointed twentieth Conductor of the Boston Pops in February 1995, succeeding Mr. Williams.
Charles Munch followed Koussevitzky as music director in 1949. Munch continued Koussevitzky's practice of supporting con?temporary composers and introduced much music from the French repertory to this country. During his tenure the orchestra toured abroad for the first time and its con?tinuing series of Youth Concerts was initiat?ed. Erich Leinsdorf began his seven-year term as music director in 1962. Leinsdorf presented numerous premieres, restored many forgotten and neglected works to the repertory, and, like his two predecessors, made many recordings for RCA; in addition, many concerts were televised under his direction. Leinsdorf was also an energetic director of the Tanglewood Music Center; under his leadership a full-tuition fellowship was established. Also during these years, in 1964, the Boston Symphony Chamber Players were founded. William Steinberg succeeded Leinsdorf in 1969. He conducted a number of American and world premieres, made recordings for Deutsche Grammophon and RCA, appeared regularly on television, led the 1971 European tour, and directed concerts on the east coast, in the south, and in the mid-west.
Seiji Ozawa was appointed the thirteenth music director of the BSO in the fall of 1973; he is currently in his twenty-third season in that post. Prior to his appointment as music adviser to the orchestra, in 1972, he had previously been appointed an artistic director of the Tanglewood Festival, in 1970. During his tenure as music director Mr. Ozawa has continued to solidify the orchestra's reputa?tion at home and abroad. He has also reaf?firmed the BSO's commitment to new music, through a series of centennial commissions marking the orchestra's 100th birthday, a series of works celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Tanglewood Music Center in 1990, and a recent series of commissions from composers including Henri Dutilleux, Lukas Foss, Alexander Goehr, John Harbison,
Hans Werner Henze, and Yehudi Wyner. Under his direction the orchestra has also expanded its recording activities, to include releases on the Philips, Telarc, Sony Classical CBS Masterworks, AngelEMI, LondonDecca, Erato, Hyperion, and New World labels.
Today the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Inc. Presents more than 250 concerts annually. It is an ensemble that has richly fulfilled Henry Lee Higginson's vision of a great and permanent orchestra in Boston.
It is interesting to note that by the time the BSO made "its first transcontinental trip," in 1915, it was already a regular fixture of Ann Arbor's musical life: 1890, 1891, 1892 (Nikisch); 1893 (Kneisel); 1913 (Vrack); 1917 (Muck). From 1931-1961 the BSO made annual trips to the University Musical Society under the direction of Maestros Koussevitzky and Munch.
This evening's performance marks the Boston Symphony Orchestra's forty-eighth appearance under UMS auspices.

For nearly fifteen years, the Fort Apache Band has been one of the few authentic standard-bearers of what can rightfully be called Latin jazz. As demonstrated on Crossroads, the New York-based sextet's Milestone debut, this band does not merely play both sides of the fence; it burns the fence down. As one of its founding members, Steve Berrios, explains, "Most bands that play so-called Latin jazz might play a 'jazz' tune the way a traditional salsa band might play it. To me that's not the point. They haven't really done their homework. We know both sides of the coin extremely well, which makes this band unique. I think it comes off in the music." Peter Watrous, writing in the New York Times, has agreed, noting that "the band has come up with something immensely dramatic, music that constantly shifts angles and approaches," and citing Fort Apache as pos?sibly "the best Latin jazz group working."
Latin jazz is more than fifty years old: In 1942, Mario Bauza wrote his classic compo?sition Tonga and four years later he introduced Dizzy Gillespie to Cuban percussionist Chano Pozo, giving rise to a series of historic cross-cultural collaborations featuring
Machito, Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and others. Afro-Cuban rhythms have been embedded in the pulse of jazz ever since, but rarely have the two traditions melded as fluidly as they do in the music of Fort Apache.
First organized in the early 1980's by the Bronx-bred brothers Jerry Gonzalez (trumpet, flugelhorn, congas) and Andy Gonzalez (bass), Fort Apache was initially a large, flexible ensemble, boasting as many as ten or fifteen pieces and featuring such players as Kenny Kirkland, Sonny Fortune, Steve Turre, the late Jorge Dalto and Frankie Rodriguez, Milton Cardona, Hector Hernandez, Angel Vasquez, and others. The band's first two albums were recorded live at European jazz festivals: The River Is Deep, 1982 in Berlin; Obatala, 1988 in Zurich. But it was 1989's Rumba Para Monk, a quintet recording of Thelonious Monk masterpieces arranged by Jerry Gonzalez and the entire band, that brought the Fort Apache concept into focus. Named Jazz Record of the Year by the French Academie dujazz, the album also resulted in the Fort Apache Band being voted the number one World Beat Group in Down Beat's fifty-fifth annual Readers Poll.
The quintet that recorded Rumba Para Monk -with Carter Jefferson on tenor saxo-
phone, Larry Willis on piano, and Steve Barrios on drums -added saxophonist Joe Ford for 1991's Earthdance and 1992's Moliendo Cage. Following the death of Jefferson, former Fort Apache member John Stubblefield returned to the fold on tenor sax. "When we first started," Berrios explains, "we had more salsa players in the band, but since we've added more jazz players -more well-rounded players -the concept is much hipper. And we've gone from playing jazz tunes with Latin rhythms to playing much more original material."
The Fort Apache vision has organically evolved from the backgrounds of its found?ing members. Born of Puerto Rican heritage in New York City, Jerry Gonzalez, Andy Gonzalez, and Steve Berrios all grew up with their ears and hearts open to both jazz and Latin music. "Whenever I heard jazz -Trane, Miles, or Monk -I heard the Cuban rhythms with it all along," Jerry Gonzalez told Down Beat in 1990. In 1970, at the age of twenty-one, he was given the chance to apply that understanding, working with Dizzy Gillespie for a year. "Dizzy proved that you can superimpose authentic bebop over a complex Latin rhythmic bass without watering either of them down," Gonzalez has explained. "I don't want to compromise the rhythm and I don't want to compromise the jazz playing."
In 1971, both Jerry and Andy Gonzalez joined pianist Eddie Palmiere in what many consider to have been the classic band of "El Son." Not long after, they combined forces with master timbalero Manny Oquendo in Conjunto Libre, the exhilarating Latin band that continues to thrill audiences today. Jerry, who made his recording debut as a leader in 1980 with Ya Yo Me Cure, has also performed with Tony Williams, McCoy Tyner, Kenny Dorham, Anthony Braxton, Tito Rodriguez, Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri, Tito Puente, Paquito D'Rivera, and Machito.
Coming from a musical household in
which his mother sang and his father was a professional drummer, Steve Berrios remembers that "it was just natural for me to hear both Machito and Duke Ellington." Although he played jazz trumpet throughout elementary and high school, Berrios eventu?ally turned to the drums, which had always been his "first love." Self-taught but inspired by such masters as Art Blakey, Max Roach, Philly Joe Jones, and Elvinjones, Berrios filled in for his father in the Latin house band at Manhattan's Hotel Alamedo and found himself playing six nights a week for the next four years. In 1967, he was invited to join the band of Mongo Santamaria and performed on and off with the legendary conguero through 1980. Berrios's credits also include long stints with Tito Rodriguez, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, and more recently, Hilton Ruiz and Max Roach's M'Boom ensemble.
As the various writing and arranging credits on Crossroads reveal, Fort Apache operates democratically. "Everyone makes suggestions," Berrios says, "and the best ones stick." Pianist Larry Willis, best known for his work with the Cannonball Adderley Quintet and Blood, Sweat and Tears (as well as Wynton Marsalis, Jackie McLean, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, and many others), wrote the album opener, "Malandro," and contributed several arrangements. Alto and soprano saxophonist Joe Ford, who had played with Jerry Gonzalez in McCoy Tyner's band, bought 'The Vonce" and "Thelingus."
"The band is growing," Berrios says of the expansive moves made on Crossroads. The sound is getting pinpointed to exactly what Fort Apache is all about."
This evening's performance marks Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band's UMS debut.
The arrival of celebrated trumpet player Arturo Sandoval has been joyfully applauded throughout the jazz and classical music communities. Granted political asylum in July 1990, Sandoval, his wife and teenage son made their new home in Miami, Florida. A protege of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval was born in Artemisa, a small town on the outskirts of Havana, Cuba, on November 6, 1949, just two years after Gillespie became the first musician to bring Latin influences into American jazz. Sandoval began studying classical trumpet at the age of twelve, but it didn't take him long to catch the excitement of the jazz world. He has since evolved into one of the world's most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugelhorn, as well as a renowned classical artist.
Sandoval was a founding member of the Grammy-winning group Irakere, whose explosive mixture of jazz, classical, rock and traditional Cuban music caused a sensation throughout the entertainment world. In 1981, he left Irakere to form his own band, which garnered endiusiastic praise from critics and audiences all over Europe and Latin America. Sandoval was voted Cuba's Best Instrumentalist from 1982 to 1990.
Before founding Irakere, Sandoval per?formed with the Cuban Orchestra of Modern Music. He was presented as a guest artist with the BBC Symphony in London and the Leningrad Symphony in Russia. Since his defection, Sandoval has increased his classical performances world-wide including perfor?mances with the National Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Toledo Symphony, Oklahoma Symphony and Atlanta Symphony amongst others. His classical artistry has earned him the respect and friendship of Maurice Andre and Adolph Herseth, two of
the world's foremost trumpeters.
As a professor, Sandoval performed at the Conservatoire de Paris, the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in the Soviet Union, the University of California at Santa Barbara, University of Miami, University of Wisconsin, Purdue University, and at many other insti?tutions in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Currendy, he serves with a full professorship at Florida International University, and maintains one of the most extensive educational programs in the indus?try with approximately fifty performances and clinics per year. There are two scholarships associated with Sandoval, the "Arturo Sandoval's Dizzy Gillespie Trumpet Scholar Award" at the University of Idaho, and the "Sandoval Trumpet Scholarship" at Central Oklahoma University. In 1995 Hal Leonard Publishing will release three new method books with recordings that include Arban and original exercises by Sandoval.
Sandoval was a featured artist in die acclaimed Dizzy Gillespie United Nation Orchestra, as well as the orchestra's 1992 Grammy-winning album, Live at Royal Festival Hall. He has performed with Billy Cobham, Woody Herman, Woody Shaw, Herbie Hancock, Michel Legrand, Stan Getz, and John Williams at the Boston Pops. His playing also can be heard on Dave Grusin's soundtrack for Havana, in the
Mambo Kings soundtrack with his Grammy nominated composition Mambo Caliente, and in the soundtrack of The Perez Family. His diverse style and versatility can be heard on albums by the GRP All Star Big Band, and Gloria Estefan's Into the Lights and Mi Tierra amongst others.
This evening's performance marks Mr. Sandoval's UMS debut.
Percussionistband leader Tito Puente is perhaps the best known and most respected name in Latin music today. His musical contributions span more than fifty years. He is affec?tionately called El Rey, The King.. .of timbales, of Latin music, of Salsa. Although he doesn't like the term Salsa, he understands its useful?ness. "Salsa means sauce, literally; its just a commercial term for Afro-Cuban dance music which was used to promote the music. My problem is that we don't play sauce, we play music, and Latin music has different styles: cha-cha, mambo, guanaco, and so on.
Salsa doesn't address the complexities and the rich history of the music that we play. But it's become expected now and it helped to get the music promoted," he said in an article for Hip Magazine.
Besides his success as a band leader and musician (playing timbales, vibes, marimba, piano, and even saxophone and clarinet), Tito is an accomplished arranger and com?poser. He has written or co-written over four hundred songs, among them his well known Oye Como Va, recorded by popular rock star Carlos Santana in the early 70's.
Tito Puente was born Ernesto Anthony Puente, Jr. in New York City of April 20, 1923 to parents newly arrived from Puerto Rico. He is very proud of his Puerto Rican roots and performs there at least once a year. He grew up in a richly diverse musical environment in East Harlem, which included South American, Cuban and swing music. He was influenced not only by Latin musi?cians, but by the great dance bands of the day -Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman. Drummer Gene Krupa was his idol. He would later be influenced by the writings of another big band leader, Stan Kenton.
By die age of twelve, he was performing
with local Latin and society bands. In his early teens, he playing a twelve-week engagement with a sextet in Miami, Florida. He continued playing in New York, with bands like Machito's, until he was drafted into the United States Navy at the age of nineteen.
After a three year stint in the Navy, he attended Thejuilliard School of Music on the G.I. Bill. By 1949, Latin rhythms had become increasingly popular
in American music. Puente formed his own nine piece group, The Piccadilly Boys, which performed regularly at the Palladium, a New York City club, which was the "in" place for those who loved to listen and dance to the best Latin music.
The Palladium -the "mecca of Latin music" -attracted New York's elite art and literary crowd, as well as Hollywood stars. Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker and Max Roach came over from Birdland, the famous nearby jazz club. Gillespie combined the mambo rhythms with his bebop and invented a fusion, which came to be known as Cu-bop, Jazz Mambo or Cubano Jazz. After playing at Birdland -"the jazz mecca" -and Roseland, Puente incorporated jazz har?monies into his music, producing Latin jazz.
Tito began recording about that time. He has recorded steadily since, signing with Concord Picante, a division of Concord Jazz, in the early '8o's.
Tito has recorded eleven albums on Concord Picante. His 1994 release, Master Timbalero, features some of his own composi?tions, as well as songs by Charles Mingus, Horace Silver, Charlie Parker and Erroll Garner, demonstrating once again how diverse and gifted this artist is. His 1993 CD, Royal T is a masterpiece. As annotator Mark Holston says: ". . . the ever youthful Mambo King is working harder than ever and making new music that may be the very best of his entire career."
His 1992 release Mambo Of The Times, has liner notes by Tito's friend and fan, Bill Cosby, who writes: "It has nothing to do with whether Tito can speak Italian, Yugoslavian, Russian, Chinese, or Japanese. . .once he bangs those two sticks together counting off the rhythm like sign language, they all come together and they dance, and they tap their feet and they feel good."
Puente is an inspiration for musicians. He as amassed many honors, including the
"Key" to New York City in 1969 by Mayor John Lindsay. In 1979, his group became the first Latin jazz orchestra to play at the White House for President Jimmy Carter. Also, they played at President Ronald Reagan's Inaugural Ball. Coca Cola designated him their spokesman for the Hispanic com?munity and cast him in a commercial with Bill Cosby. In 1989, the National Academy for Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) presented him with a Eubie Award for Lifetime Achievement in the recording industry.
In 1990, he received a Star on the famous Hollywood Walk of Fame, reserved for those who have made outstanding contributions in their fields. He is a consistent winner of Downbeat Critics' and Readers' Polls.
Tito has performed on television shows, such as the Cosby Show, The David Letterman Shoxu, and the Arsenio Hall Show. He has appeared in the Woody Allen movie, Radio Days; in Armed and Dangerous with John Candy and Salsa, Most recently, he appeared in the Warner Brothers 1992 movie, Mambo Kings.
In 1981, the Tito Puente Scholarship Fund was set up to award grants to musically gifted youngsters in the Latin community. Staunchly supported by Puente, over fifty grants have been presented in its first thirteen years.
According to Hip Magazine, "He has recorded with virtually every major Latin and jazz artist of his day. In addition, he has worked with a variety of pop artists ranging from The Sugar Hill Gang to Tower of Power. Never one to 'rest on his laurels,' Puente maintains a whirlwind schedule, appearing around the world at festivals, concert halls and clubs."
This performance marks Mr. Puente's debut appearance under UMS auspices.
Youth Program
Thousands of school children annually attend UMS concerts as part of the UMS Youth Program, which began in the 19891990 season with special one-hour performances for local fourth graders of Puccini's La Boheme by the New York City Opera National Company.
Now in its seventh year under the Education and Audience Development Department, the UMS Youth Program continues to expand, with performances by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for middle and high school students, two opera performances for fourdi graders by the New York City Opera National Company, a performance by Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra Octet, in-school workshops with a variety of other artists, as well as discounted tickets to every concert in the UMS season.
As part of its Ann Arbor residency, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will present a special youth program to middle and high school students, and a family performance, both on March 19, 1996.
On Friday February 24, 1996, 2700 fourth-graders will visit the Power Center for abbreviated one-hour performances of Verdi's La Traviala. These performances allow children to experience
opera that is fully-staged and fully-costumed with the same orchestra and singers that appear in the full-length performances.
On January 31, 1996, Wynton Marsalis and the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra Octet will perform a special youth performance at the Michigan Theater.
Discounted tickets are also available for UMS concerts as part of the Youth Program to encourage students to attend concerts with their teachers as a part of the regular curriculum. Parents and teachers are encouraged to organize student groups to attend any UMS events, and the UMS Youth Program Coordinator will work with you to personalize the students' concert experience, which often includes meeting the artists after the performance. Many teachers have used UMS performances to enhance their classroom curriculums.
The UMS Youth Program has been widely praised for its innovative programs and continued success in bringing students to the performing arts at affordable prices. To learn more about how you can take advantage of the various programs offered, call the Education and Audience Development Director at 3 13.764.6179.

UMS Ushers
Absolute chaos. That is what would ensue without ushers to help concertgoers find their seats at UMS performances. Ushers serve the essential function in assisting patrons with seating and distributing program books. With their help, concerts begin peacefully and pleasantly.
The UMS Usher Corps comprises 275 individuals who volunteer their time to make concertgoing easier. Music lovers from the community and the university constitute this valued group. The all-volunteer group attends an orientation and training session each fall. Ushers are responsible for working at every UMS performance in a specific hall (Hill, Power, or Rackham) for the entire concert season.
The ushers must enjoy their work, because 85$ of them return to volunteer each year. In fact some ushers have served for 30 years or longer. Bravi Ushers!
For more information about joining the UMS usher corps, call 313.913.9696

Advertising
with the University Musical Society
Five years ago, UMS began publishing expanded program books that included advertising and detailed information about UMS programs and services. As a result, advertising revenue now pays for all printing and design costs.
UMS advertisers have written to tell us how much they appreciate advertising in the UMS pro?gram books to reach you, our world-class audience. We hope that you will patronize the businesses who advertise with UMS and tell them that you saw their ad in the UMS program book so that we can continue to bring you the program notes, artists' biographies, and general information that illuminate each UMS presentation.
