An uber-physical hybrid of precision and invention, Rubberbandance Group mixes up explosive hip-hop, contemporary, and classical dance with an energy that pops and sizzles. Founded in Montreal in 2002, RBDG has burst onto the international dance scene with appearances at both hip-hop and contemporary dance festivals throughout North America, Europe, and Japan.
Choreographer Victor Quijada is a total original who grew up on the streets of Los Angeles and was nicknamed Rubberband by b-boys and rappers for his unusually elastic dancing style. He went on to work with Twyla Tharp and Eliot Feld, honing a style that combines the freedom of breakdance, the profoundness of modern storytelling, and the nuances and technique of contemporary dance."lt's really like a genetic experiment," Quijada says, "taking genes from two different forms so that those forms don't stay the same, but have been informed by each other and changed."
In its UMS debut, RBDG presents two full-evening works: Elastic Perspective Redux, a suite of six dances that are audacious settings of hip-hop to classical music and Latin rhythms, and their newest work, Punto Ciego (formerly known as Phase II). Punto Ciego explores whether there is a loss of time and self in our "virtual" universe, answering with a contemporary dance work influenced by ballet and break, and laced with AV feeds, street demeanor, and an ardor for violence and tenderness together.

In the five years that have elapsed since the recording of a debVit album that proved both a popular and a critical success, Norwegian pianist and I composer Tord Gustavsen continues to make music that gently sings, f as evidenced on his most recent album for ECM Records, 2007's Being
There. While relating to genres like Scandinavian folk music, American gospel, Caribbean music, and cool jazz, the trio presents a unique universe of lyricism, luminescence, and subtle funkiness. "Gustavsen sometimes appeared ecstatically wired to the keyboard as he picked
out his sublimely spare yet lyrical melodies.. .a deeply satisfying, almost
meditative, musical experience...entranced listeners were hanging on
every hurried note."{The Scotsman)

FRIDAY, JANUARY 23 7 PM & 9 PM
SATURDAY, JANUARY 24 7 PM & 9 PM Biomedical Science Research Building Auditorium
The current unrest in the seat of the world's oldes civilization has inspired the Juilliard-trained Syriar clarinetist Kinan Azmeh to embark on a multimedia exploration of the most ancient epic that exists in writing today. The Epic of Gilgamesh is a series of Sumerian legends and poems from Babylonia about the mythological hero-king Gilgamesh, thought to have ruled in the third millennium BC. This unique event, developed as part of Juilliard's "Beyond the Machine" Festival, explores the epic through both music and visual art, using original composition on the clarinet inspired by spontaneous drawings projected live by SyrianArmenian painter Kevork Mourad. While improvising freely in different Arabic modes on top of a multi-layered virtual ensemble, Azmeh and Mourad create a shockingly different take on one of the world's oldest literary texts.

14th Annual Ford Honors Program, honoring the
Royal Shakespeare Company
Michael BoycL Ralph Williams
artistic director
U-M Professor of English
SATURDAY, JANUARY 24 I 6 PM [notetime] Rackham Auditorium [note new venue]
Join us for the 14th Annual Ford Honors Program, which celebrates the partner?ship between the University Musical Society, the University of Michigan, and the Royal Shakespeare Company, whose first UMS appearance in 2001 featured the stunning productions of Shakespeare's rarely-performed History Plays. Michael Boyd, the Olivier Award-winning director of those plays, is now the artistic direc?tor of the RSC.The company's three Ann Arbor residencies (2001,2003, and 2006) have included nine of Shakespeare's plays as well as the US premiere of a stage adaptation of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children, not to mention hundreds of free contextual education events. U-M Professor Ralph Williams, who is retiring at the end of the 0809 academic year, has been a driving force behind the success of these residencies. He has collaborated directly with Michael Boyd and the RSC, and has also helped thousands of students and community members approach the works presented on the stage in new and exciting ways.
The 90-minute celebration will animate the partnership that has developed among UMS, the RSC, and the University of Michigan, and the central role UMS education programs have had in the success of the three RSC residencies. The event will feature a performance by RSC actors; Williams's reflections on Shakespeare and theater; Boyd and Williams paying tribute to each other as they have continued to enhance each other's work; and a performance tribute to all of the honorees, all woven together through brief video segments that highlight some of the profound impacts of the RSC residencies and of Williams's career at U-M.
Ticketbuyers may purchase tickets only to the FHP event in Rackham Auditorium or to the event and a gala dinner, which follows the event and raises funds to support UMS education programs.

"This was playing that wrapped the listener in its spell, playing that made no concessions to fad or fancy, playing that approached the status of revelation." (San Francisco Examiner) Acknowledged as one of the leading interpreters of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and Mozart, Goode probes the inner reaches of works by any composer, infusing every measure with the utmost expressivity. He makes his musicianship an exciting combination of grandness and humility, boldness and depth. Returning for the first time since 1997, Goode will perform a recital program of Bach and Chopin.

Chanticleer has developed a remarkable reputation for its vivid interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz and from gospel to venturesome new music. With its seamless blend of 12 male voices, ranging from countertenor to bass, the ensemble is "the world's reigning male chorus." (The New Yorker) Named for the "clear singing" rooster in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Chanticleer has a long-
group to commission works from an ever-growing list of important composers. Chanticleer concerts are designed to appeal to audiences of all backgrounds and levels of music appreciation. The men of Chanticleer often speak to the audience from the stage, giving background and a personal touch to the glorious sounds they make. Their program will include early American hymns, Mexican Baroque choral works, European madrigals, new works, and pieces drawn from American folk songs, jazz, and gospel.

Lauded repeatedly for the beauty of his voice, as wel as his seemingly effortless technical agility, Lawrence Brownlee is "on the brink of a major career...without doubt, the most impressive addition to the American tenor roster in many years." (San Francisco Chronicle, 2006) Brownlee first appeared at UMS in March 2006 in the concert opera Tancredi -the same year that he was awarded both the Richard Tucker Award and the Marian Anderson Award, two of the biggest prizes for rising singers. A bel canto specialist, he frequently collaborates with pianist Martin Katz, with whom he partners on his UMS recital debut. The program will include songs and arias, as well as a cantata by John Carter comprised of settings of Black spirituals.

Sweet Honey In The Rock
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12 I 8 PM Hill Auditorium
Honey -an ancient substance, sweet and nurturing. Rock -an elemental strength, enduring the winds of time. The metaphor of "sweet honey in the rock" captures completely these African American women whose repertoire is steeped in the sacred music of the Black church, the clarion calls of the Civil Rights move?ment, and songs of the struggle for justice everywhere. Rooted in a deeply-held commitment to create music out of the rich textures of African American legacy and traditions, Sweet Honey In The Rock possesses a stunning vocal prowess that captures the complex sounds of Blues, spirituals, traditional gospel hymns, rap, reggae, African chants, hip-hop, ancient lullabies, and jazz improvi?sation. Founded by Bernice Johnson Reagon in 1973 at the DC Black Repertory Theater Company, Sweet Honey's collective voice, occasionally accompanied by hand percussion instruments, produces a sound filled with soulful harmonies and I intricate rhythms. In the best and in the hardest of times, Sweet Honey InThe Rock has come in song to communities across the US and around the world, raising their s in hope, love, justice, peace, and resistance. Si

"Superlatives don't really exist to convey the primal power and bra beauty of Kodo...the devil of it is the combination of the discipi of a surgeon's scalpel with the primitive, muscular endurance o cavalry charge. The speed and dexterity are as impressive as tl physical tenacity is breathtaking." (Chicago Tribune) In ancient Japan, the taiko drum was a symbol of the rural community, and it is said that the limits of the village were defined not by geography, but by the furthest distance from which the taiko could be heard. With its "One Earth" tour, Kodo brings the sound of the taiko to people around the alobp. transrpnHinn harriers of lanauaae and custom and remindinn
all of our membership in that much larger community, the world. "In this age of exploding populations and lightning-fast communication, it is more important than ever that these diverse cultures learn to recognize and accept each other so that all may share our increasingly shrinking planet in harmony," says Kodo's primary philosophy. The Japanese characters of the company's name convey two meanings: "heartbeat,"the primal source of all rhythm, and"children of the drum," a reflection of Kodo's desire to play their drums simply, with the heart jf a child. The ensemble makes its first UMS appearance since 2005.

Since its founding in 1964 by Martha Graham and Baroness Batsheva de Rothschild, Batsheva Dance Company has become one of the most influential cultural role models in Israel, internationally renowned for pushing the boundaries of cutting-edge dance with intense energy, rich sensuality, and a culturally diverse dance language. Led by Ohad Naharin since 1990, this contemporary dance company reels with energy, adrenaline, and force.
While Naharin's choreography has been seen by UMS audiences numerous times over the past decade by other dance companies, the Batsheva Dance Company retums for its first UMS visit since 1998 with two full-evening works. On Saturday, the company presents Three, a bewitching work from 2005 that tests the dancers' individual boundaries in a powerful composition of force, speed, and passion. The Sunday performance features Deca Dance, a celebration of 10 years of Naharin's work with Batsheva. Naharin takes sections of existing works and reorganizes them into a new experience, providing an opportunity to look at Naharin's repertoire over time, from its most extravagant to its most intimate and heartrending.

Named for Antonie Brentano, whom many scholars consider Beethoven's "Immortal Beloved," the intended recipient of his famous love confession, the Brentano Quartet transcends Beethoven to explore music both very old and very new.

"Yo-Yo Ma is part modern Marco Polo, an explorer of cultures far beyond his own; part musical missionary, eager to share ideas and make vital connections between peoples." (Chicago Tribune) Founded by Yo-Yo Ma in 1998, the Silk Road Project has been a catalyst for a new kind of conversation, opening avenues of intercultural communication and collaborative thinking.
For about 2,000 years, the Silk Road was the main conduit for the spread and exchange of goods, ideas, religions, and culture, connecting people from Asia to the Mediterranean. The collective is drawn from internationally renowned musicians interested in exploring the relationships between tradition and innovation in music from the East and West.
"When I started the Silk Road Project," says Yo-Yo Ma, whose 25 years of touring influenced his view and understanding of the world, "I began to understand the geographical and musical connections between all of these incredible cultures -all these 'other' classical musics, the Persian classical music, the Indian classical music, and so on. I got a sense that at one time these connections were much closer, and over time that certain things got split off and developed independently." After last season's stunning solo recital, Yo-Yo Ma retums with two different performances featuring artists from the Silk Road Ensemble.

A Multimedia Celebration of the Golden Age of Arab Music
THURSDAY, MARCH 12 8 PM

Simon Shaheen artistic director
The period from the 1920s to the 1950s is considered the "golden ag Egyptian cinema, but it was also a golden age of song in many parts of the Arab world -in particular, Egypt, Lebanon, and Syria. Many of these coun?tries'greatest singers and composers reached unprecedented heights of artistry and stardom throughout these years. Now, one of today's leading Arab composers and instrumentalists, Simon Shaheen, is bringing this era back to life. With a traditional, 12-piece Arab orchestra and special guest vocalists, Shaheen directs this evening of classic, unforgettable melodies, soul-stirring voices, and lush orchestral arrangements, authentically re?creating and interpreting the sights and sounds of this magical time.
Shaheen conducted an international search for the top Arab singers of today, and Palestinian singers Ibrahim Azzam and Khalil Abonula, Sonia M'barek from Tunisia, and Rima Khcheich from Lebanon join Shaheen in presenting some of the most beloved songs of all time by composers like Mohammad Abdel Wahhab, Farid Al-Atrash, and the Rahbani Brothers. The Aswat Orchestra includes virtuoso instrumentalists who deliver a rich musical experience for devotees and new fans alike. As a backdrop to the live performance, a projection screen flashes preserved images and film footage of the great singers of the Golden Age, creating a multimedia experience of historical depth and lasting emotional impact.

Since its "official" debut during the Salzburg Mozart Week in January, 1994, the Altenberg Trio Vienna has earned a reputation as one of the most daring and consistent ensembles of its kind. When forming their ensemble, pianist Claus-Christian Schuster, violinist Amiram Ganz, and cellist Alexander Gebert chose as their namesake the revered 19th-century Viennese writer and poet Peter Altenberg, a contemporary and compatriot of renowned Viennese artists at the turn of the 19th century (Schoenberg, Berg, Mahler, Schiele, Klimt, and others). Their choice illustrated perfectly the values captured in the Trio's music-making: love of beauty, venture toward life, precision of style, and a sense of humor. The trio members have impressive individual reputations in chamber music circles and take great pride in remaining faithful to the style and tradition of the "Viennese sound"so often admired in reviews.

Pandit Shivkumar Sharma
SUNDAY, MARCH 22 7 PM [NOTETIME] Rackham Auditorium
Zakir Hussain is today appreciated both in the field of percussion and in the music world at large as an international phenomenon. A classical tabla virtuoso of the highest order, his consistently brilliant and exciting performances have not only established him as a national treasure in his own country, India, but earned him worldwide fame. His playing is marked by uncanny intuition and masterful improvisational dexterity. The favorite accompanist for many of India's greatest classical musicians and dancers, he has not let his genius rest there, but is widely considered a chief architect of the contemporary world music movement with historic collaborations including Shakti (which he founded with John McLaughlin and L Shankar in the 1970s), Sangam (with Charles Lloyd and Eric Harland), and performances and recordings with artists as diverse as George Harrison, Van Morrison, Rennie Harris, and the Kodo Drummers of Japan. Hussain, who last appeared in Ann Arbor with Ali Akbar Khan in March 2000, is joined by Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, who singlehandedly transformed the santoor from an instrument of accompaniment to one that deserves center stage.

The "Royal Family of Guitar" retums to Ann Arbor for the first time since 2000. A veritable institution in the world of classical music, the Romeros celebrate their 50th anniversary this season. Celedonio Romero, founder and creator of the Romeros guitar dynasty, was a renowned soloist in Spain who began teaching his sons as they approached the age of two or three. Although Celedonio died in 1996, his sons and grandsons continue the Romero legacy. This unparalleled family ensemble has become the international emissary for guitar chamber music, their name synonymous with style, elegance, and technique. To have so many virtuosi of the same instrument in one family is unique in the world of musical performance, and in the realm of classical guitar it is absolutely unprecedented. Their program features works by Rodrigo.Gaspar Sanz, Boccherini, Villa Lobos, Albeniz, Gimenez, and more; complete details are available at www.ums.org.

John McLaughlin and Chick Corea created two of the most explosive live fusion bands in the 1970s. McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra and Corea's Return to Forever were two of the most popular instrumental groups of all time. Their music went far beyond the ordinary, fusing energy, spirituality, and emotion with improvisation and hard rock. These groups inspired a new generation to expand their own musical horizons. This concert tour will be the first time that these virtuoso improvisers have joined forces since they were both members of Miles Davis's Bitches Brew-era band over 40 years ago. Playing music from then and now, the concert features Detroit native Kenny Garrett, Christian McBride, and Brian Blade.

"The Beethoven cycles have become one of the most important events in my life, if not the most important," said Andras Schiff in an ' interview in England. "There is no other sequence of works that is so varied. It is like asking an actor to play all the main Shakespearean roles, but also acting the other roles with them." Schiff closes out his two-year, eight-concert cycle of the complete Beethoven piano sonatas with the second half of Beethoven's profoundly innovative output. These later sonatas are the meteoric measure of Beethoven's genius unfolding, recounting in sound his personal and public riumphs and trials -the advancing introversion of deafness, the of his public life and his heart, and his artistic progression from mcerns of the world to the awareness of eternity and the immortal.

"You can't help but see Elling as the descendant of Sinatra and Bennett." (allaboutjazz.com) Kurt Elling brings tenor saxophonist Ernie Watts and the Ethel String Quartet aboard for "Dedicated to You,"Elling's creative re-imagining of John Coltrane's seminal collaboration with the romantic balladeer Johnny Hartman. Hartman was the only singer ever to record with Coltrane, and their 1963 album of ballads is considered a masterpiece. Elling takes a cue from Coltrane's ingenuity, creating new storytelling and harmonies and adding lush layers and atmospheres to what has roundly been dubbed one of the most romantic albums ever recorded. "Only a daring and confident artist would revisit the indelible performances of baritone Johnny Hartman and saxophonist John Coltrane, look to Walt Whitman for lyrics, or decide a string quartet is the touch-perfect complement to his expert working band. Kurt Elling is that artist."(Howard Mandel)

Hmadcha Ensemble I
Fez Festival of Sufi Culture in Fez, Morocco
A champion for preserving Moroccan Sufi traditions, artistic director Mohammed Bennis founded the Hmadcha Ensemble as a way to preserve traditional Sufi chanting in the Hmadcha tradition of Fez, which dates back to the 17th century. This performance will attempt to recreate an authentic, late-night performance that is featured at the Fez Festival of Sufi Culture in Morocco. Beginning with incantations, the ceremony builds in intensity, with the chanting of poems and sacred qasidas leading to movement and dancing with more invocations and chanting. Director Mohammed Bennis was born to a family renowned for its devotion to religious traditions and has studied the art of spiritual poems under a series of eminent masters, all with an eye toward preserving the traditional Sufi chanting tradition. A community reception immediately follows each performance in the newly restored and expanded University of Michigan Museum of Art.

Born in Munich in 1983, she has received a hailstorm of superla?tive reviews. Named "Artist of the Year" at the 2007 Gramophone Awards (voted on by more than 14 million individuals), she has also been featured as a major emerging artist by several distinguished music publications. She started off 2008 with a bang: performing Saint-Saens'Violin Concerto No. 3 before intermission at a concert in Frankfurt, then making her professional piano debut after intermis?sion with Grieg's Piano Concerto in a minor.

The New York Times called Marie Chouinard "a hurricane of unbridled imaginativeness," and her company's UMS debut promises to take audience members on a journey through a raw, honest, and gritty expression of our human form. Chouinard believes that dance is a sacred art and the body a spiritual force to be celebrated. Ever since she presented her first work in 1978, which immediately earned her a reputation as an exceptionally original artist, she has been noted for her astonishing innovation. In 1990, she formed the Compagnie Marie Chouinard, and in the dozen works she has created since then, she has explored the poetics of the body in shockingly immediate, intelligible, and ever-surprising ways. Each new piece is an odyssey through the history of humanity, avoiding the chronology or linearity of pure narrative. For this UMS debut, she presents two different programs. Not for the faint of heart, these programs reveal the complex, desirous, wild, and cerebral nature of our being.
Performances contain nudity and adult themes.

About UMS
UMS is committed to connecting audiences with performing artists from around the world in uncommon and engaging experiences.
One of the oldest performing arts presenters in the country, the University Musical Society is now in its 130th season.
With a program steeped in music, dance, and theater performed at the highest international standards of quality, UMS contributes to a vibrant cultural community by presenting approximately 60-75 performances and over 100 free educational and community activities each season.
UMS also commissions new work, sponsors artist residencies, and organizes collaborative projects with local, national, and international partners.
While audience members see what UMS puts on the stages in Ann Arbor, they may not always be aware of the happenings behind the scenes, the activities that help to make UMS a distinctive partner within both the southeastern Michigan community and the field of performing arts institutions. We've put together some information about UMS that we hope you'll find interesting.
Relationship to the University of Michigan
UMS has a unique"independent but affiliated"status with the University of Michigan. We are a separate, independent 501 (c)3 organization with a 34-member board of directors. The U-M President, other U-M executives, and the Superin?tendent of the Ann Arbor Public Schools serve as ex-officio members.
UMS has received annual support from the University of Michigan Office of the President since FY2002 as part of the U-MUMS Partnership Program, in addition to support for the three Royal Shakespeare Company residencies. Other U-M departments and offices also contribute to special projects at UMS. Overall, this support has ranged from four to nine percent of our annual budget. For a breakdown of revenues, please see the graph at right.
U-M students are active consumers of UMS events; in the 0708 season, students comprised more than 21 of our total audience (as measured through special student discount programs). Students purchased more than 17,000 tickets to UMS events last year and collectively saved over $325,000 through half-price student ticket sales, rush tickets, the UMS Student Card, and the popular Arts & Eats events, which combine tickets, a free pizza dinner and a brief talk by someone knowledgeable about the performance each month.
UMS's Arts & Eats program continues to attract many students each month, including nearly 400 students who attended the pizza dinner and talk by LSA senior Lara VanderHeiden before Complicite's A Disappearing Number in September.
About 100 teachers attend UMS's annual After-School Luncheon for Teachers, where they learn about the programs for schoolchildren, including youth performances and in-school visits, and professional development opportunities for teachers.
Bethel A.M.E. Church in Ann Arbor hosted the Soweto Gospel Choir and other area gospel choirs for a performance exchange, where the groups performed for each other, in conjunction with the SGC's concert in October.

UMS PROJECTED REVENUES FY2009
Annual Contributions
Commissioning of New Work
While UMS is not presenting any new commissions in the 0809 season, we maintain an active role in Music Accord, a nine-member commissioning consortium that has helped develop nearly 25 new works in the past 10 years, most recently William Bolcom's Double Quartet, which was premiered by the Guarneri and Johannes String Quartets in February 2008.
In addition to commissions of musical works, UMS has funded the creation of dance and theater productions, helping to commission a total of more than 50 works since 1990. Partners in these efforts include internationally prominent presenters such as the Chatelet of Paris, the Schleswig-Holstein Festival, and the South Bank Centre as well as major US presenters (Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Tanglewood, and other university-based presenters).

Education & Community Engagement
Each season, UMS hosts over 100 educational and community events, providing background and context to the work that appears on the stage as well as opportunities surrounding performances to celebrate and socialize. Nearly all of these events are free and open to the public.
In addition, UMS's active youth performance program serves up to 25,000 youngsters from 65 school districts, as well as private and home schools.
These efforts are possible because of UMS's work with more than 100 community partners each season, including arts organizations, human service organizations, culturally-specific community partners, educational institutions, and corporate partners. UMS works with over 50 U-M academic units and more than 150 individual U-M faculty members as partners in our educational programming.
In recognition of these efforts, UMS received the first Arts PresentersMetLife Foundation Award for Arts Access in Underserved Communities in January 2007. The award specifically recognized our partnerships with the Arab, African American, Latinoa, and Asian communities, developed in conjunction with our global programming cycles.
These efforts also reinforce UMS's commitment to diversity, embodied by the artists, art forms, and educational programs we present, as well as the communities with whom we work and the make-up of our staff, Board, and volunteers.

Classical Kids Club
Designed to nurture and create the next generation of musicians and music lovers, the Classical Kids Club allows students in grades 1-9 and their parents to purchase tickets to all classical music concerts at significantly discounted prices.
Two weeks before any UMS classical music performance (see listing at right), parents can purchase up to two kids' (ages 5-14) tickets for $ 10 each with the purchase of an adult ticket for $20. Seating is subject to availability. UMS will reserve a limited number of Classical Kids Club tickets for each eligible performance -even those that sell out. Parents are encouraged to call theTicket Office at 734-764-2538 with any questions.
Students over age 14 are welcome to purchase $ 10 rush tickets to most UMS events the day of the performance ($15 at the door) through UMS's Teen Ticket Program, subject to availability. Visit www.ums.orgeducation for more information.
Membership is Free! There's no membership fee and no need to register in advance. However, if you'd like to receive reminders about upcoming Classical Kids Club performances, log on to www.ums.org, join UMS E-News and check the box for Classical Kids Club.
Great Prizes. After kids attend three different events in the 0809 season, they'll receive a UMS Classical Kids Club t-shirt.

Tickets & Info
Please Make Sure We Have Your E-mail Address on File!
UMS regularly sends relevant, updated concert-related parking and late seating information via e-mail a couple of days before each event. Please be sure that the Ticket Office has your correct e-mail address on file.
Ticket Exchanges
Subscribers may exchange tickets free of charge. Non-subscribers may exchange tickets for a $6 per ticket exchange fee. Exchanged tickets must be received by the Ticket Office (by mail or in person) at least 48 hours prior to the performance. The value of the tickets may be applied to another performance or held as UMS Credit until the end of the season. You may also fax a copy of your torn tickets to 734-647-1171. Lost or misplaced tickets cannot be exchanged. UMS Credit must be redeemed by Friday, May 8,2009.
Ticket DonationsUnused Tickets
Unused tickets may be donated to UMS for a tax-deductible contribution up to 15 minutes prior to the performance. Unused tickets that are returned after the performance are not eligible for UMS Credit or a tax-deductible contribution.
Lost or Misplaced Tickets
Call the Ticket Office at 734-764-2538 to have duplicate tickets waiting for you at Will-Call. Duplicate tickets cannot be mailed.
Refunds
Due to the nature of the performing arts, programs are subject to change. Refunds are given only in the case of event cancellation or date change. Handling fees are not refundable.
Will-CallTicket Pick-Up
All ticket orders received less than 10 days prior to the performance will be held at Will-Call, which opens in the performance venue 90 minutes prior to the published start time.
Access for Persons with Disabilities
All UMS venues are accessible for persons with disabilities. Call 734-764-2538 for more information.
Start Time & Latecomers
UMS makes every effort to begin concerts at the published time. Most of our events take place in the heart of central campus, which has limited parking and may have several events occurring simultaneously in different theaters. Please allow plenty of extra time to park and find your seats.
Latecomers will be asked to wait in the lobby until seated by ushers. Most lobbies have been outfitted with monitors andor speakers so that latecomers will not miss the performance entirely.
The late seating break is determined by the artists and generally occurs during a suitable repertory break in the program.This could
be as late as intermission or, for classical music concerts, after the first piece (not after individual movements). UMS makes every effort to alert patrons in advance when we know that there will be no late seating.
UMS works closely with the artists to allow a more flexible late seating policy for family performances.
Notices about start times and late seating will be sent via e-mail. Please make sure that the UMS Ticket Office has your e-mail address on file.
ParkingParking Tips
Detailed directions and parking information will be mailed with your tickets and are also available at www.ums.orgparking.
Construction of the University of Michigan's North Quad residence hall during the next two seasons will increase traffic congestion and require occasional lane and street closures in the block surrounding the construction area, which may affect access to the performance venues. However, all parking structures will remain open during construction.
To reduce the likelihood of congestion, we suggest that you consider accessing the Power Center structure from the Palmer Drive entrance. There's a light at the intersection of Palmer and Washtenaw, making it easier to access the structure. You'll save time both entering and exiting the structure and avoid
sitting in traffic too.
UMS also recommends parking at the off-campus Liberty Square structure (entrance off of Washington Street, between Division and State), about a two-block walk from most performance venues. $2 after 3 pm weekdays and all day SaturdaySunday.
Children and Families
Children of all ages are welcome to attend UMS Family Performances. Please call the Ticket Office at 734-764-2538 if you are bringing a child under the age of two to a UMS Family Performance.
Children under the age of three will not be admitted to regular, full-length UMS performances. All children attending such performances must be able to sit quietly in their own seats without disturbing other patrons. 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, for regular UMS performances, everyone must have a ticket regardless of age.
See page 42 for information about the UMS Classical Kids Club and the family friendliness of specific UMS performances.
