Session 6: Sing Out: Soloists at Hill

Musical luminaries have lit up the stage at Hill for over 100 years. In this session, we explore some of the great soloists (like Vladimir Horowitz, Leontyne Price, Enrico Caruso, Cecilia Bartoli, and Sergei Rachmaninoff) that have cemented UMS’s identity as a top-notch, world-class performing arts presenter.

What was it like to be in Hill Auditorium in 1913? This season Night School focuses on 100 years of UMS at Hill Auditorium and illuminate the special history behind the great performers and performances that have shaped our community. These 90-minute “classes” combine conversation, interactive exercises, and “lectures” with genre experts to draw you into the themes behind each performance. Professor Mark Clague joins us again as host and resident scholar.

In collaboration with the Ann Arbor District Library and the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance.
