FROM THE U-M PRESIDENT
Welcome to this University Musical Soci?ety performance. At the University of Michigan, we are proud of UMS and the world-class artists and ensembles it attracts to the University and southeast Michigan. I had the pleasure of experiencing three remarkable UMS performances during the first part of the season-Sankai Juku from Japan, Venice Baroque Orchestra
from Italy, and Carolina Choc?olate Drops from the United States.
Collaboration is at the heart of UMS's work locally, regionally, and throughout the country. At the Univer?sity, UMS has partnered with 70 academic units and 200 faculty members over the
past five years, with the faculty providing context and insight for UMS performances. UMS is also a member of the University's Public Goods Council, a cluster of organizations dedicated to advancing scholarship and culture through the arts, special collections, historical archives, natural science re?sources, coursework, and experiential learning. In fact, UMS opened this season in September with David Leddy's Susurrus, a unique theater piece that one experienced by listening to an iPod while walking through the Matthaei Botanical Gardens, a Public Goods Council partner of UMS.
Throughout the region, UMS works closely with public, private, and home-school K--12 programs; scores of arts and cultural institutions; a wide range of nonprofit organizations; and diverse communities of shared cultural heritage--all with the goal of mak?ing its programs available to everyone.
On the national scene, UMS was instrumen?tal in establishing the Major University Presenters' Network, an affinity group of performing arts presenters from 20 leading universities, including California-Berkeley, Stanford, Penn, Penn State, Minnesota, Dartmouth, Texas, North Carolina, and others. Created in 2002, the presenters share information, convene on one another's campuses, travel abroad together to scout prospects for future tours, and undertake research projects. UMS also was instrumental in creating Music Accord, a consortium of 10 music presenters, including the Library of Congress, Tanglewood, and Chamber Music Society at Lincoln Center, that has commis?sioned more than 25 new works since 1999. Just as leading universities are committed to advanc?ing knowledge through research. Music Accord is committed to ensuring that new works are being created and performed by providing financial sup?port to composers and performance opportunities for musicians.
One final collaboration I am pleased to high?light is the U-MUMS Partnership Program. Each year, the University provides financial support to UMS for its commitment to education, creation, and presentation, paralleling U-M's commitment to teaching, research, and public engagement.
I encourage you to attend more UMS events and those offered by the many outstanding arts and cultural organizations of the University. To learn more, visit the University's arts portal, Mon?tage, at www.montage.umich.edu.
Sincerely,
Mary Sue Coleman
President, University of Michigan
FROM THE UMS PRESIDENT
Welcome! Thank you for attending this performance. I hope you'll enjoy the experience and attend other UMS events during the remainder of our 132nd season. You'll find a listing of our WinterSpring 2011 per?formances on page 2 towards the center of this program book.
UMS has a rich history. It began in 1879 when four Ann Arbor church choirs joined forces under the direction of Calvin B. Cady to sing choruses from Handel's Messiah. They called the combined choruses the Choral Union. Their rehearsals led to the first Choral Union concert on Tuesday, Decem?ber 16 of that year, held at the M.E. Church. Henry Simmons Frieze, a distinguished professor of clas?sics and a three-time acting president of the Uni?versity of Michigan, accompanied the Choral Union on the organ. In addition to the Messiah choruses, the first concert included performances by pianist Ida Blakeslee, soprano E. Allen, organist Marian Smith, cellist Mr. Speil, and other works by the Choral Union. A year later, the University Musical Society was officially incorporated with Professor Frieze as president. On December 4 and 5, 2010, UMS presented the Choral Union in the annual UMS production of Messiah, marking its 416th and 417th appearances under UMS auspices.
The program of that first concert is now available online, along with every UMS program through our 100th season in 1978-79. Also avail?able are 900 photographs, most of them with cap?tions and dates. The programs and photos are avail?able online in a searchable database, thanks to our friends at the Ann Arbor District Library (AADL). AADL Director Josie Parker and her staff obtained the programs and photos that are part of the UMS collection at the University's Bentley Historical Li?brary, which has done a superb job of collecting, organizing, and preserving our archives over the
years. AADL staff digitized these documents and created the website that now makes these UMS historical documents available to the public. Check it out at ums.aadl.org. With this new resource, you can now verify the date when Horowitz made his UMS debut, find out how many times Lily Pons sang under UMS auspices, check out the photo of Glenn Gould practicing in the basement of Hill
prior to his May Festival debut in 1958, and discover what Caruso sang when he per?formed at Hill in March of 1919. Once you've visited AADL's website, I hope you'll share your comments at the UMS Lobby at www.umsLOBBY. org. This is the place where "people are talking" about
all things related to UMS, and we'd love to hear from you.
UMS is the oldest performing arts presenter in the US affiliated with a university. We are proud of our rich history and pleased that we can share so much of it with you via the Internet. It is our in?tention to make more programs and more photos available to you in the months and years ahead, along with other archival material. Stay tuned...
I hope you'll get in touch with me if you have any questions, comments, or problems related to UMS. If you don't see me in the lobby, send me an e-mail message at kenfisch@umich.edu or call me at 734.647.1174. Thanks again for coming to this performance.
Very best wishes,
Kenneth C. Fischer UMS President
FROM THE UMS BOARD CHAIR
Just think how fortunate we are to be part of a UMS audience experiencing artistic perfor?mances that have the potential to transform lives. That is of little surprise given the role UMS has in inspiring us and broadening our understand?ings of each other. Engaging artistic accomplish?ments, innovation, and inclusiveness have been hallmarks of extraordinary UMS performances for 132 years. UMS has enriched audiences as well as those on stage: the orchestras, ensembles, solo?ists, troupes, and casts performing before us. Be it the sound of music, the movement of dance, or the voice of theater, we have seen extraordinary new and traditional performances from some of the world's most distinctive artists. UMS makes the difference.
The intellectual and emotional spirit of UMS has a sustaining importance to our well being. The Winter 2011 season is a testament to that value. Witness the classical music of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, the singing of Renee Fleming, the flow of the Merce Cunningham Dance Compa?ny, the moods of Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Shakespeare's voice of England's Propeller, the beat of Japan's Kodo Drummers, and the authentic Afro-Cuban rhythm of Septeto Nacional. These performances in the last half of this season are but a small piece of what UMS does. Educational programs, artistic residen?cies, and community gatherings are all part of UMS. It just doesn't get any better anywhere.
UMS events are presented in many diverse venues, all of which are chosen to create an unusual bond between the performers and the audience. Both the seasoned attendee and the newcomer each quickly grasp this unique connec?tion. Lasting ovations and knowledgeable chatter of those leaving the hall let the artists know they have been deeply appreciated and understood.
That atmosphere has established a special relation?ship between UMS audiences and the artists. It's been that way for generations.
The UMS Board and I encourage all of you to participate with the entire UMS team in engaging yourself in the many experiences afforded by UMS.
Dare yourself to embrace the sounds and sights of diversity in the performing arts. They are the very essence of life on our ever-shrinking planet and your exposure will brighten your days.
Become advocates for the cultural contributions UMS offers to our greater commu?nities and consider being a
UMS benefactor. Share in the pride of being among our individual and corporate donors whose contri?butions fund more than half the expenses of bring?ing worldwide artists to our doors each year. Do it for yourself and for those that follow. Such won?derful support, both big and small, gives owner?ship of UMS to many.
Your presence is always welcome at UMS. Discover our offerings at www.ums.org and get on board with our preand post-performance chats at www.umsLOBBY.org. We like to listen. And remember how lucky we are to share in the UMS experience. That's the difference.
Sincerely,
James C. Stanley
Chair, UMS Board of Directors

UMS HISTORY
Through a commitment to presenta?tion, education, and the creation of new work, the University Musical So?ciety (UMS) serves Michigan audienc?es by bringing to our community an ongoing series of world-class artists, who rep?resent the diverse spectrum of today's vigorous and exciting live performing arts world. Over the past 132 years, strong leadership coupled with a devoted community has placed UMS in a league of internationally recognized performing arts presenters. Today, the UMS seasonal program is a reflection of a thoughtful respect for this rich and varied history, balanced by a commitment to dynamic and creative visions of where the performing arts will take us in this new millen?nium. Every day UMS seeks to cultivate, nurture, and stimulate public interest and participation in every facet of the live arts.
UMS grew from a group of local university and townspeople who gathered together for the study of Handel's Messiah. Led by Professor Henry Simmons Frieze and conducted by Profes?sor Calvin Cady, the group assumed the name The Choral Union. Their first performance of Handel's Messiah was in December of 1879 and this glorious oratorio has since been performed by the UMS Choral Union annually.
Many Choral Union members also be?longed to the University, and the University Mu?sical Society was established in December 1880. UMS included the Choral Union and University Orchestra, and throughout the year presented a series of concerts featuring local and visiting artists and ensembles.
Since that first season in 1879, UMS has expanded greatly and now presents the very best from the full spectrum of the performing arts--internationally renowned recitalists and orchestras, dance and chamber ensembles, jazz and world music performers, and opera and theater. Through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, youth programs, artist residencies, and other collaborative projects, UMS has maintained its reputation for quality, artistic distinction, and innovation. UMS now hosts over 60 performances and more than 125 educational events each sea?son. UMS has flourished with the support of a generous community that this year gathers in seven different Ann Arbor venues.
The UMS Choral Union has likewise ex?panded its charge over its 132-year history. Re?cent collaborations have included the Grammy Award-winning recording of William Bolcom's Songs of Innocence and of Experience (2004), Shostakovich's Symphony No. 13 ("Babi Yar") with the Mariinsky Orchestra (2006), Orff's Carmina Burana for Maestro Leonard Slatkin's inaugural weekend as Music Director ot the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (2008), and Mahler's Symphony No. 2 ("Resurrection") with the San Francisco Symphony and Michael Tilson Thomas (2010).
While proudly affiliated with the University of Michigan, housed on the Ann Arbor campus, and a regular collaborator with many University units, UMS is a separate not-for-profit organiza?tion that supports itself from ticket sales, cor?porate and individual contributions, foundation and government grants, special project support from U-M, and endowment income.
UMS VENUES AND
BURTON MEMORIAL TOWER
Hill Auditorium
Originally built in 1913, Hill Auditorium re-opened to the public in January 2004 follow?ing a $38.6-million dollar renovation overseen by Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. and historic preservation architects Quinn EvansArchitects. The renovation updated Hill's infrastructure and restored much of the interior to its origi?nal splendor. Exterior renovations include the reworking of brick paving and stone retaining wall areas, restoration of the south entrance plaza, the reworking of the west barrier-free ramp and loading dock, and improvements to landscaping.
Interior renovations included the demoli?tion of lower-level spaces to ready the area for future improvements, the creation of additional restrooms, the improvement of barrier-free cir-
culation by providing elevators and an addition with ramps, the replacement of seating to in?crease patron comfort, introduction of barrier-free seating and stage access, the replacement of theatrical performance and audio-visuai systems, and the complete replacement of me?chanical and electrical infrastructure systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Hill Auditorium seats 3,575.
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre
Notwithstanding an isolated effort to establish a chamber music series by faculty and students in 1938, UMS began presenting artists in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre in 1993 when Eartha Kitt and Barbara Cook graced the stage of the inti?mate 658-seat theater as part of the 100th May Festival's Cabaret Ball. Since then, UMS has pre?sented theater work, jazz ensembles, song recit?als, and more in the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, housed inside the Michigan League.
Power Center
The Power Center for the Performing Arts grew out of a realization that the University of Michi?gan had no adequate proscenium-stage theater for the performing arts. Hill Auditorium was too massive and technically limited for most produc?tions, and the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre was too small. The Power Center was built to supply this missing link in design and seating capacity.
In 1963, Eugene and Sadye Power, togeth?er with their son Philip, wished to make a major gift to the University. The Powers were imme?diately interested in supporting the University's desire to build a new theater, realizing that state and federal governments were unlikely to pro?vide financial support for the construction of a theater.
Opening in 1971 with the world premiere of The Grass Harp (based on the novel by Tru?man Capote), the Power Center achieved the seemingly contradictory combination of provid?ing a soaring interior space with a unique level of intimacy. Architectural features include two large spiral staircases leading from the orches?tra level to the balcony and the well-known mirrored glass panels on the exterior. The lobby of the Power Center presently features two hand-woven tapestries: Modern Tapestry by Roy Lichtenstein and Volutes (Arabesque) by Pablo Picasso.
The Power Center seats approximately 1,400 people.
Rackham Auditorium
Seventy years ago, chamber music concerts in Ann Arbor were a relative rarity, presented in an assortment of venues including University Hall (the precursor to Hill Auditorium), Hill Audito?rium, and Newberry Hall, the current home of the Kelsey Museum. When Horace H. Rackham, a Detroit lawyer who believed strongly in the importance of the study of human history and human thought, died in 1933, his will awarded the University of Michigan the funds not only to build the Horace H. Rackham Graduate School, which houses Rackham Auditorium, but also to establish a $4 million endowment to further the development of graduate studies. Even more
remarkable than the size of the gift is the fact that neither he nor his wife ever attended the University of Michigan.
Designed by architect William Kapp and architectural sculptor Corrado Parducci, Rackham Auditorium was quickly recognized as the ideal venue for chamber music. In 1941, UMS presented its first chamber music festival with the Musical Art Quartet of New York per?forming three concerts in as many days, and the current Chamber Arts Series was born in 1963. Chamber music audiences and artists alike ap?preciate the intimacy, beauty, and fine acoustics of the 1,129-seat auditorium, which has been the location for hundreds of chamber music concerts throughout the years.
St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church
Dedicated in 1969, St. Francis of Assisi Catho?lic Church has grown from 248 families when it first started to more than 2,800 today. The present church seats 1,000 people and has ample free parking. In 1994, St. Francis pur?chased a splendid three-manual "mechani?cal action" organ with 34 stops and 45 ranks, built and installed by Orgues Letourneau from Saint Hyacinthe, Quebec. Through dedication, a commitment to superb liturgical music, and a vision to the future, the parish improved the acoustics of the church building, and the reverberant sanctuary has made the church a gathering place for the enjoyment and contem?plation of sacred a cappella choral music and early music ensembles.
Burton Memorial Tower
Seen from miles away, Burton Memorial Tow?er is one of the most well-known University of Michigan and Ann Arbor landmarks. Designed by Albert Kahn in 1935 as a memorial to U-M President Marion Leroy Burton, the 10-story tower is built of Indiana limestone with a height of 212 feet. The carillon, one of only 23 in the world, is the fourth heaviest con?taining 55 bells and weighing a total of 43 tons. UMS has occupied administrative offices in this building since its opening.

Delusion
Delusion is a meditation on life and language. Conceived as a series of short mystery plays. Delusion jump-cuts between the everyday and the mythic. Combining violin, electronic puppetry, music, and visuals, Delusion tells its story in the colorful and poetic language that has become Anderson's trademark.
"The electronically altered voice I've used for many years, the one that turns my voice into a male voice, has been gradually evolving into a more nuanced one, now with the name of Fenway Bergamot. I've written Delusion as a conversation between that voice and my own."
The stories in Delusion come from many worlds--technical, scientific, personal, and mythic--and from various states of consciousness, dream, and meditation. The stories range from the mystic origins of the Russian space program to theories of time and speed, ancestors, control, silence, and animals.
At the heart of Delusion is the belief that words and stories can create and the world as well as make it disappear.
Two pieces from Delusion are drawn from Ms. Anderson's recently released and critically acclaimed record Homeland.

Now that you're in your seat...
This afternoon's program explores connections between composers and poets living around the turn of the 20th century. We hear a wide variety of textures and moods in the traditions of the German Lied and French melodie. The poet Rilke speaks with an American accent through a young contemporary composer. Arias from the Italian verismo movement bring heightened emotions to the opera stage.
Pianist and composer Brad Mehldau (b. 1970) is the first jazz musician to hold the Richard and Barbara Debs Composer's Chair at Carnegie Hall. A five-time winner of the Downbeat Reader's Poll for "Best Piano Artist," Mr. Mehldau has worked with many jazz greats, including Joshua Redman, Pat Metheny, and Charlie Haden.
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is cherished for his Duino Elegies and the Sonnets to Orpheus. The early Book of Hours was written 1899-1903. Its 67 poems are arranged in a triptych: The Book of a Monastic Life, The Book of Pilgrimage, and The Book of Poverty and Death. The poems are not conventional religious devotions, but questing meditations that focus the poet's love of the world through attention and engagement. Mehldau writes:
Rilke struggles to reconcile two strong, opposing impulses in these poems. On the one hand, there is a deep desire for an authentic religious experience, and on the other hand, there is a profound enmity toward the dogmatic, patriarchal entity that is often bound with that same experience. Rilke is seeking out a relationship with God, but that word, "God," signifies anguish and folly--man-made folly--for him at the same time. The seven poems that I have selected hone in on the questioning, difficult nature of Rilke's meditation, and the striving intensity of his experience, with its extremes of ecstasy and turmoil. These poems are the testament of a young person's evolving spirituality, and they speak to the ambivalence that many of us experience as we question and formulate our beliefs.
The Book of Hours: Love Poems to God was commissioned for Renee Fleming by Carnegie Hall and released in 2006 on the album Love Sublime. The last four songs of the cycle are heard this afternoon.

Lady Jane Grey, the "Nine-Days Queen," briefly wore the crown of England after Edward Vl's death in 1553. A Protestant, she and her husband Dudley were executed by Mary Tudor, Catholic daughter of Henry VIII and the legitimate heir to the throne. A tragic figure, Jane is said to have etched on her wall in the Tower of London: "To mortals' common fate thy mind resign; my lot today tomorrow may be thine." Schoenberg submitted his brooding setting of the ballad "Jane Grey" to a Berlin competition in 1907. It imprisons its subject in d minor--at least until a final release on a major triad. Schoenberg didn't win the competition, but the year was pivotal for him, as he composed his String Quartet No. 2, with its soprano voice stepping off into the atonal "air of other planets." That year, another notable, a young artist named Hitler, was rejected by the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts as "unfit for painting."
The music of Richard Strauss is often encountered in the concert hall, where virtuosic tone poems like Don Juan and Also Sprach Zarathustra lend muscle to the symphonic repertoire. On the operatic stage, Der Rosenkavalier continues to win hearts. But Strauss also penned over 200 songs, many of them beloved of singers. The songs in this set were written during the years 1895-1900, when Strauss was conductor of the Hofoper, first in Munich, then in Berlin.
Strauss was thoroughly middle-class by birth. His mother's family owned Munich's Pschorr Brewery, founded in 1417 and still on tap. His father was one of the great horn players of the day. "Strauss did not so much need poems of high literary quality as texts with striking expressive images or situations that could ignite his imagination," writes Bryan Gilliam. His biggest influence was perhaps his spirited wife Pauline, a soprano who was also the composer's favorite interpreter--they frequently
performed together--and something of a martinet. The genesis of "Traum durch die Dammerung" may have been typical. Strauss once described his song-writing approach: "I open a book of poems; I turn over the leaves casually; one of the poems arrests my attention, and in many cases, before I have read over it carefully, musical ideas come to me." On this occasion, Pauline decided on a walk, and crisply gave him 20 minutes. That's how long it took to limn this timeless, twilit world with its velvet band drawing the listener. In "Winterliebe," boundless joy and burning love can barely be contained by the upward-leaping lines declaimed in heroic fashion. "Gesang der Apollopriesterin" evokes the world of Wagner's Nibelungs. The song begins in a watery E-flat Major, the key of Das Rheingold, and Valhalla is not far away. It falls to the priestess to usher in the Apollonian, "white" key of C Major, with its transcendent radiance.
IV
Erich Wolfgang Korngold is often classed with Mozart and Mendelssohn as one of the great child prodigies. He began to compose at age six, publishing works at age 12 that were called by Strauss "really astonishing." Korngold's son characterized him as "a genial young man, handicapped by a willful father and the forces of the Third Reich." Korngold, a Jew, was forced to flee Vienna for Hollywood in 1934. He was prodigiously expressive, out-of-synch with fashion in favoring what he called the "inspired idea" over the "artificial construction," and his music brims with fresh themes and rich harmonies. In 20 film scores, Robin Hood and Captain Blood among them, Korngold demonstrated superbly how music can heighten the moving image. His influence endures; without Korngold, there would be no Close Encounters.
The great-hearted "Sterbelied" is laid out on familiar lines, so one tends to overlook its modernist touches: a little fanfare in stacked fourths; a disjunct and wide-ranging melody with a pickup that hangs too low; most of all, delicious chords of memory and forgetting. The River Prut divides Romania from Moldova. Now called Bukovina, the region was known to German speakers as Buchenland, or "Land of the Beech Trees." Are the bitonal ripplings that frame "Das Heldengrab am Pruth" a purling stream, a chorus of birds, or the haze of time "Was du mir bist" is dedicated to Korngold's mother.

Henri Duparc's strange life story ends in diminuendo. A mysterious illness struck him in his late 30s, the extreme sensitivity sometimes called hyperesthesia. It rendered him incapable of composing for the rest of his life. During the long silence, he destroyed many scores. The remnant: 16 solo songs, a duet, a motet, and two orchestral works, one of them the symphonic poem, Lenore. Duparc's songs bring the French melodie to a peak, with exquisitely crafted accompaniments, unexpected but delightful harmony, and above all, a unity of poetic thought and vocal declamation. This is a Bordeaux of a very precious vintage.
"Chanson triste," the earliest of the songs here, offers the hope of a cure through love. "Le manoir de Rosemonde" gallops toward a goal that is never reached, presaging Debussy's Pelleas et Melisande in its legendary setting and equivocal outcome. Duparc set only the first three stanzas and the last of Leconte de Lisle's ten-stanza "Phydile." After a placid opening that recalls Faure, Duparc presents progressively higher statements of "Repose, 6 Phydile!" to raise a grand structure that culminates in a Wagnerian climax.

An unruly passion--verismo--swept through Italian opera post Verdi. Beginning with Mascagni's 1890 one-act, Cavalleria rusticana, Italian realists brought the fervor and chaos of True Life to the stage. At its best, the exalted lyricism of the giovane scuola (young school) invites intense intimacy, while the devices of quality pulp fiction drive the plot.
In "Donde lieta usci," from Act 3 of Puccini's La boheme (1896), Mimi touchingly asks Rodolfo, who knows she is dying, to return her things. Ruggero Leoncavallo, composer of the seminal veristic work pagliacci, offered his take on Bohemian life the following year. In a pair of light-hearted arias, Mimi and Musetta exchange gibes. Zandonai's Conchita (1911) recalls Bizet's Carmen in its Seville cigar factory setting, but the music is more modern; Conchita recounts her flirtations in 58 meter.

201011 UMS DTE Energy Foundation Teacher of the Year
Joey Parins, Roberto Clemente Student Development Center
When Joey Parins speaks about her students or class projects, you see sparkles in her eyes. As the listener, your insides warm, you get goose bumps, and you aren't able to stop smiling. Ms. Parins' core belief is that the arts experiences she engineers for her students ignite in them the realization they are uniquely gifted individuals with special and joyful contributions to make. She confirms this belief when she brings students to see a Sweet Honey In The Rock UMS Youth Performance, arranges a student pre-performance drumming event prior to a UMS Kodo concert, or mounts a school production of Wilson's Fences. With this award, UMS recognizes, supports, and honors Joey Parins' commitment and passion.
201011 UMS DTE Energy Foundation School of the Year
Angell Elementary School
Gary Court, Principal
Joan Singer, Enrichment Coordinator
The participation of Angell Elementary School in the UMS K-12 program dates back to the early 1990s when Angell students were active participants in UMS's "Opera for 4th Graders" program. Angell provides regular opportunities for its students to have rich and diverse cultural experiences via UMS performances. Continuing in 1995 when 60 students attended a UMS presentation of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, through this current season's attendance at a Carolina Chocolate Drops UMS Youth Performance, Angell has sustained its commitment to learning in the broadest terms: learning that goes beyond the walls of the traditional school building, that is diverse in perspective and experience, and that is ultimately student-focused.

One of the most beloved and celebrated musical ambassadors of our time, soprano Renee Fleming captivates audiences with her sumptuous voice, consummate artistry, and compelling stage presence. Known as "the people's diva," she continues to grace the world's greatest opera stages and concert halls, now extending her reach to include other musical forms and media. Over the past few seasons, Ms. Fleming has been hosting a wide variety of television and radio broadcasts, including the Metropolitan Opera's Live in HD series for movie theaters and television, and Live From Lincoln Center on PBS.
As a musical statesman, Ms. Fleming has been sought after on numerous distinguished occasions, from the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony to performances in Beijing during the 2008 Olympic Games. On January 18, 2009, she was featured on the televised We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial concert for President Obama. She has performed for the
US Supreme Court, HRH The Prince of Wales at Buckingham Palace, and, in November 2009, celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Czech Republic's "Velvet Revolution" at the invitation of Vaclav Havel. An additional distinction was bestowed in 2008, when breaking a precedent, Ms. Fleming became the first woman in the 125-year history of the Metropolitan Opera to solo headline an opening night gala.
Renee Fleming's current season at the Metropolitan Opera includes performances of Rossini's Armida (FebruaryMarch 2011), and Strauss's Capriccio (MarchApril 2011). Her 201011 concert season began with the BBC Symphony Orchestra's Last Night of the Proms performance in September, followed by appearances with the Pittsburgh Symphony conducted by Manfred Honeck, the National Symphony under Christoph Eschenbach, and the Saint Louis Symphony with David Robertson, all for their 201011 gala concerts. In October, Ms. Fleming traveled to

Pholo Andrew Etcfci
Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium with the Munich Philharmonic and conductor Christian Thielemann, and in November, she embarked on a Scandinavian tour, performing with the Danish National Symphony, Aarhus Symphony, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Norwegian Radio, and Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestras. Further concert highlights include performances with the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra and the Toronto Symphony, as well as the Staatskapelle Dresden and the Berliner Philharmoniker. A dedicated and masterful recitalist, Ms. Fleming appeared in Saint Paul, Minnesota and Kansas City, Missouri (October 2010), and is on a recital tour this month to Quebec, Washington, DC, New York's Carnegie Hall, Ann Arbor, Montreal, and San Juan.
A three-time Grammy winner, Ms. Fleming won the 2010 Grammy Award for "Best Classical Vocal Performance" for Verismo (DeccaSeptember 2009), a CD featuring a collection of rarely heard Italian arias. In June 2010, Decca and Mercury records released the CD Dark Hope, which features Ms. Fleming performing songs by artists such as Leonard Cohen, Peter Gabriel, Arcade Fire, and Death Cab for Cutie. Ms. Fleming's most recent DVD Renee Fleming & Dmitri Hvorostovsky: A Musical Odyssey in St. Petersburg follows Ms. Fleming and baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky to Russia, where they explore and perform in some of St. Petersburg's most spectacular locations. These releases follow the critically acclaimed 2008 CD of Strauss: Four Last Songs and a DVD of the complete Thai's by Massenet. In recent years, this 12-time Grammy-nominated artist has recorded everything from Strauss' complete Daphne to the jazz album Haunted Heart, to the movie soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Her recording honors range from the 2009 Echo Award for Strauss' Four Last Songs to the Prix Maria Callas Orphee d'Or by the Academie du Disque Lyric for TDK's DVD production of Capriccio.
Ms. Fleming's artistry has been an inspiration to many other prominent artists, such as Chuck Close and Robert Wilson, whose portraits of her were included in the Metropolitan Opera's 2007 fund-raising auction. Two portraits of Ms. Fleming were also created by Francesco Clemente, who revealed one work in Salzburg in spring 2007, with the Metropolitan Opera displaying the other in 2008. Among her numerous awards are Sweden's Polar Prize (2008); the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur from the French government (2005);
Honorary Membership in the Royal Academy of Music (2003); and a 2003 Honorary Doctorate from The Juilliard School, where she was also commencement speaker.
An advocate for literacy, Ms. Fleming has been featured in promotional campaigns for the Association of American Publishers (Get Caught Reading), and the Magazine Publishers of America's READ poster campaign for the American Library Association. She was honored by The New York Public Library as a "Library Lion." Her book, The Inner Voice, was published by Viking Penguin in 2004, and released in paperback by Penguin the following year. An intimate account of her career and creative process, the book is also published in France by Fayard Editions, in the UK by Virgin Books, by Henschel Verlag in Germany, Shunjusha in Japan, and by Fantom Press in Russia.
In addition to her work on stage and in recordings, Ms. Fleming has represented Rolex timepieces in print advertising since 2001. In 2008, she launched La Voce by Renee Fleming, a fragrance designed for her, with the proceeds benefiting the Metropolitan Opera. Master Chef Daniel Boulud created the dessert "La Diva Renee" (1999) in her honor, and she inspired the "Renee Fleming Iris" (2004), which has been replicated in porcelain by Boehm. Having been added to Mr. Blackwell's best dressed list, her concert gowns have been designed by Bill Blass, Gianfranco Ferre, John Galliano, Christian Lacroix, Karl Lagerfeld, Issey Miyake, Oscar de la Renta, Angel Sanchez, and Vivienne Westwood. In addition to serving as the face of opera for two public transit campaigns in New York and London, Ms. Fleming has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show, Spectacle: Elvis Costello with..., The View, and Prairie Home Companion as "Renata Flambe."
Ms. Fleming is currently a member of the Board of Trustees of the Carnegie Hall Corporation, the Board of Sing for Hope, and the Advisory Board of the White Nights Foundation of America. She was recently named Creative Consultant of Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Hartmut Holl's pianism is distinguished by an awareness of sound textures. He sensitively finds emotion at the heart of music, creating sonic atmospheres and bringing emotions to life. For over three decades, Mr. Holl has been in demand as one of the music world's most esteemed chamber musicians and lieder accompanists. Focusing on a few choice musical partners of magisterial talent, Mr. Holl has consciously cultivated a rare consistency-and longevity--in performance collaborations in hundreds of concerts and over 70 recordings, many of which have received international awards.
For over 30 years, Mr. Holl has performed lieder concerts all over the world with the distinguished Japanese-German mezzo-soprano Mitsuko Shirai. The recordings by Mr. Holl and Ms. Shirai on the Capriccio label have won multiple prizes, and are considered among the most significant modern recordings of the lieder repertoire. These range from early romantic works through the Second Vienna School and contemporary composers. Among the superb highlights of this series of recordings are albums devoted to the songs of Mozart, Schumann, Robert Franz, Liszt, Wolf, Strauss, Mahler, Berg, Schoenberg, Webern, Viktor Ullmann, and a wide range of composers' settings of the poems of Friedrich Holderlin.
Among the many career honors and distinctions awarded to Mr. Holl and Ms. Shirai are the Carte blanche series at the Louvre Auditorium, Paris in 1993 and the ABC International Music Award in 1997. Ms. Shirai and Mr. Holl's European Lieder Book recording of 20th-century compositions was named one of the best CDs of 2003 by The Boston Globe.
Since 2001, Mr. Holl has accompanied American soprano Renee Fleming in tours throughout Europe, Asia, and the US.
Hartmut Holl is the recipient of the Robert Schumann Award by the City of Zwickau. He has been named an honorary member of the Robert Schumann Society of Zwickau and the St. Petersburg Philharmonia Society.
Hartmut Holl serves as dean of the University of Music Karlsruhe.

[Duration: 42 minutes]
The countryside inspiration and the resulting contemporary soundtrack written by Tom Ze and Jose Miguel Wisnik for 1997's Parabelo prompted the choreographer from Grupo Corpo to bring to life that which he himself refers to as his "most Brazilian and regional" creation.
From working and devotion chants, from the memory of the rhythmic baiao, and from the exuberant and ever-present entangled, rhythmic points and counterpoints, emerges choreography full of hip-swaying and feet-stamping. It's a ravishing statement of maturity and of the expressive teachings developed throughout many years by the maker of Missa do Orfanato and Sete ou Oito Pecas para um Ballet.
The aesthetic of the votive offerings from countryside churches inspire Fernando Velloso and Paulo Pederneiras in the creation of the 15-meter x eight-meter panels, which provide support for the ballet's stage setting.
With the intensity of the colors veiled by black tulle and unveiled only in the small and imperative space of the ballet slippers, costume designer Freusa Zechmeister creates the set of lights and shadows that "dress" the dancers in the first part of Parabelo. And at the explosive ballet finale, the leotards are freed from the veil, showing off the joyous, high temperatures of their colors.

(Duration: 40 minutes]
The principles of interdependence and reciprocal balance that govern human relationships serve as choreographer Rodrigo Pederneiras' point of departure for the creation of Ima. Smooth and vital, trivial and strange-the piece by Grupo Corpo is marked by the stage's constant alternation between fullness and emptiness. Solos, duos, and smaller and larger groups form and dissipate throughout the piece in an incessant game of union and dispersion.
The soundtrack, composed by + 2, a trio made up of Domenico, Kassin, and Moreno, superimposes tones and textures of a wide range of diverse instruments--guitar and ocarina or synth and cuica--to journey through abstract themes that are essentially melodic or typically electronic, revealing influences that range from bossanovista Joao Donato to 70s Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, visiting contemporary Japanese multi-instrumentalist Cornelius along the way.
Using seven-color LEDs that were recently released by an American company, Paulo Pederneiras creates a new scenic spatiality where volume and texture acquire an "ethereal materiality" because they are made of pure light.
The whole, almost bucolic tones, at the beginning of ima lead to an explosion of color that is violent, radical, and exuberant, producing unusual--almost always dissonant--combinations between them or in intense dialogue with Freuza Zechmeister's costumes.
This poetry of polarities, molded by the magic that lurks in the convergent of the divergent, the juxtaposition of the disparate, the excitement that surrounds the friction, imparts a mixture of strangeness and indescribable beauty.

The contemporary Brazilian dance company Grupo Corpo, founded by Paulo Pederneiras in 1975 in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, debuted its first work, Maria Maria, the very next year. Featuring original music by Milton Nascimento, a script by Fernando Brandt, and choreography by the Argentine Oscar Araiz, the ballet would go on to spend six years on stage and tour 14 countries. But even though the piece was an immediate critical, popular, and commercial success, the group's distinctive artistic identity, its long-term popularity, and its artistic achievements have been the fruits of a long journey.
While the success of Maria Maria was still reverberating throughout Brazil and in various European and Latin American countries, Grupo Corpo (literally "Body Group" in English) never stopped working, staging six productions between 1976 and 1982. In the first phase of the company's existence, the influence of Araiz, who in 1980 would write 0 Ultimo Trem, was evident in varying degrees in the dance troupe's work. However, the company's distinctive features and personality were chiefly molded by Paulo Pederneiras, the man responsible for sets and lighting the group's performances and its artistic direction, and the dancer Rodrigo Pederneiras, who left the stage in 1981 to assume the role of full-time choreographer.
In 1985 the company launched what would be its second great success: Preludios, a theatrical piece
incorporating 24 Chopin preludes interpreted by pianist Nelson Freire. The show debuted to public and critical acclaim at the First International Dance Festival of Rio de Janeiro and would cement the group's reputation in the world of contemporary Brazilian dance.
Grupo Corpo then entered a new phase, establishing its own unique theatrical language and choreography. Starting with an erudite repertoire featuring the works of Richard Strauss, Heitor Villa-Lobos, and Edward Elgar, the company began combining classical technique with a contemporary re-reading of popular Brazilian dance forms.
In 1989 the group debuted Missa do Orfanato, a complex theatrical reading of Mozart's Missa Solemnis, K. 139.
The group underwent a radical transformation in 1992 with the production of 27, a ballet which confirmed the uniqueness of Rodrigo Pederneiras's choreography and the unmistakable persona of the company. Utilizing the singular sounds of Brazilian instrumental group Uakti as well as 10 themes composed by Marco Antonio Guimaraes, 21 leaves behind the group's preoccupation with technical form and sees it dissecting melodies and rhythms in order to explore their underlying ideas.
Beginning in the mid-1990s, nearly two decades after its inception, Grupo Corpo intensified its international touring. Between 1996 and 1999, it was the resident dance company of the Maison de la Danse in Lyon, France. Several of the company's creations (Bach, Parabelo, and Benguele) were first staged in Europe over this period.
Today, having created 34 choreographies and more than 2,200 pieces, the Brazilian dance company maintains 10 ballets in its repertoire and gives 80 international performances a year.
The minimalism of Philip Glass (5ete ou Oito Peqas para urn Ballet, 1994); the vigorous pop and urban sounds of Arnaldo Antunes (O Corpo, 2000); the primordial experimentalism of Tom Ze (Santagustin, 2002 and, with Wisnik, Parabelo, 1997); the African sensibility of Joao Bosco (Benguele, 1998); the metaphysical verse of Luis de Camoes and Gregorio de Mattos; the light touch of Caetano Veloso and Wisnik (Onqoto, 2005); the rootsy modernity of Lenine (Breu, 2007); the poetry of polarities (ima, 2009): Grupo Corpo has drawn on all of these elements to present productions of a diverse character--cerebral, cosmopolitan, primitive, existential, and tough--while always keeping the company's distinctive traits in sight.
In 1975, Paulo Pederneiras {Artistic Director) found Grupo Corpo. More recently he has assumed responsibility for lighting the company's ballets and, since Bach (1996), has also increasingly participated in the creation of stage design.
Besides his work with Grupo Corpo, Paulo Pederneiras has created lighting projects for operas including Don Giovanni, Suor Angelica, Lucia de Lammermoor, La Voix Humaine, Salome, and Orfeo. He has also created set designs for exhibits including the section for "Indigenous and Anthropologic Art" at the Brazil 500 Years Exhibit held at the Oca (Hut) in Ibirapuera Park, Sao Paulo, 2000.
"It was only in 1988, when working with [Brazilian instrumentalists] Uakti, that I started thinking about what it would be like to make a dance which would be more inside our body." Rodrigo Pederneiras (Choreographer) defines a crucial moment not only for his career but also for Grupo Corpo. His work can be seen in a variety of explorations of this "dance inside our body"--which is the dance of Grupo Corpo.
"Our body" learned how to dance on the street and the language of Rodrigo Pederneiras is, essentially, a modern one. In his own way he harbors the xaxado, the samba, the ballroom dance, the celebrations, the capoeira. Everything is translated into a private world where dynamics and balance have even more meaning than movement.
Serving as Grupo Corpo's choreographer since 1978, Rodrigo's work is now known and recognized internationally. He has choreographed for Ballet do Theatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, Ballet do Teatro Guaira, Ballet da Cidade de Sao Paulo, and Companhia de Danqa de Minas Gerais. Outside of Brazil he has collaborated with Deutsche Oper Berlin Company (Germany), Gulbenkian (Portugal), Les Ballets Jazz Montreal (Canada), Stadttheater Saint Gallen (Switzerland), and Opera du Rhin (France).
Creation, almost by definition, means anguish; but the support of his choreography assistants, Carmen Purri and Miriam Pederneiras, is invaluable. Grupo Corpo's dancers learn from them what this body of ours is, as imagined by Rodrigo during the creation phase.
If Grupo Corpo has a language of its own today, it is Rodrigo Pederneiras' language.

UMS's Education Program deepens the relation?ship between audiences and art, while efforts in Community Engagement raise awareness of the positive impact the performing arts and educa?tion can have on the quality of life in our region. The program creates and presents the highest quality arts education and community engage?ment experiences to a broad spectrum of con?stituencies, proceeding in the spirit of partner?ship and collaboration.
In this time of economic challenge, the UMS 1011 education programs "go deeper" with projects that encourage sustained engage?ment over time, allow a variety of entry points for a wide range of interests and audiences, and explore the diversity of artists, art forms, ideas, and cultures featured in the current UMS season.
Details about all educational and residency events are posted online approximately one month before the performance date. Join the UMS E-mail Club to have updated event infor?mation sent directly to you. For immediate event info, please e-mail umsed@umich.edu, or call the numbers listed on the following pages.
WinterSpring 2011 Season Themes for Educational Programming
PLAY and Creativity... Where is the space for play in our daily lives What role does play have in the artistic and creative process How does play affect child development What can medical practice, the business world, and other professional sectors learn from play
Stories and Storytellers... Each season at UMS tells a unique story, and the 1011 season in particular provides some unique narratives in connection to performances. Join us as we explore the stories of the UMS season through a variety of programs.
Americas and Americans... The 1011 season features artists and art forms from the broadest possible definition of "America." This begs the question, "Who is America" and why are some of these artists or art forms considered uniquely American A series of pro?grams will explore these questions and pose others about American identity in the performing arts.

Support
There are many ways to support the efforts of UMS, all of which are critical to the success of our season. We would like to welcome you to the UMS family and involve you more closely in our exciting programming and activities. This can happen through corporate sponsorships, business advertising, individual donations, or through volunteer?ing. Your financial investment andor gift of time to UMS allows us to continue connecting artists and audiences, now and into the future.
CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP AND ADVERTISING
Sponsorship
As a UMS corporate sponsor, your organization comes to the attention of an educated, diverse, and growing segment not only of Ann Arbor, but all of southeastern Michigan. You make possible one of our community's cultural trea?sures and also receive numerous benefits from your investment. For example, UMS offers you a range of programs that, depending on your level of support, provide a unique venue for:
Cultivating clients
Developing business-to-business relationships
Targeting messages to specific demographic groups
Enhancing corporate image
Making highly visible links with arts and education programs
Recognizing employees
Showing appreciation for loyal customers
For more information, please call 734.647.1176.
Advertising
When you advertise in the UMS program book you gain season-long visibility among ticket buyers while enabling an important tradition of providing audiences with the detailed program notes, artist biographies, and program descrip?tions that are so important to the performance experience. Call 734.647.1176 to learn how your business can benefit from advertising in the UMS program book.
INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS
We could not present our season without the invaluable financial support of individual donors. Ticket revenue only covers half of the cost of our performances and educational events. UMS donors help make up the differ?ence. If you would like to make a gift, please fill out and mail the form on page 36 or call 734.647.1175.
UMS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The UMS Advisory Committee is an organiza?tion of almost 90 volunteers who contribute over 7,000 hours of service to UMS each year. The Advisory Committee champions the mis?sion and advances the goals of UMS through community engagement, financial support, and other volunteer service.
Advisory Committee members work to in?crease awareness of and participation in UMS programs through the Education Ambassador Committee, the Community Ambassador Com?mittee, ushering at UMS youth performances, and a partnership with the U-M Museum of Art (UMMA) Friends Board.
Raising money to support UMS Education Programs is another major goal of the Advisory Committee. The major fundraising events are:
Ford Honors Program and Gala: Renee Fleming, Sunday, January 16, 2011 The 16th Annual Ford Honors Program celebrates one of the most celebrated musi?cal ambassadors of our time, soprano Renee Fleming. She captivates audiences with her sumptuous voice, consummate artistry, and compelling stage presence. In 2008, she became the first woman in the 125-year history of the Metropolitan Opera to headline their opening night gala. This great American soprano returns to UMS after her 1999 recital and her 2005 appearance in a concert version of Richard Strauss's Daphne.
Following Renee Fleming's recital, a Gala Champagne Reception and Dinner, that Ms. Fleming will attend, will be held at the Biomedical Science Research Building. Please call 734.647.8009 for more information.
Sixth Annual On the Road with UMS
Held in September, more than 250 people an?nually enjoy an evening of food, music, and silent and live auctions. The 2010 event was held at the North Campus Research Complex.
Delicious Experiences. These special events are hosted by individuals and local businesses. The hosts determine the theme for the evening, the menu, and the number of guests they would like to entertain.
For more information on events being planned for this season, or if you are interested in joining the Advisory Committee, please call 734.647.8009 for more information.

ANNUAL FUND SUPPORT JULY 1, 2009 NOVEMBER 1, 2010

The following list includes donors who made gifts to UMS between July 1, 2009 and November 1, 2010. Due to space constraints, we can only list in the UMS program book those who donated $250 or more.
