Summer Sings
The UMS Choral Union is pleased to announce the 15th season of its acclaimed SUMMER SINGS. All singers are invited to these popular choral reading sessions. On three Monday nights, just come as you are to these no-audition, no-performance evenings of memorable music-making. Over the past fourteen seasons, as many as 200 singers from southeast Michigan, northern Ohio, and Canada have joined each session in singing through great choral repertoire with some of the nation's most respected choral conductors and outstanding soloists. Admission to each session costs only $5.00 - less than a ticket to the movies! - and we'll provide the musical scores and refreshments.
Registration begins at 6:30 pm "Summer Sings" begins at 7:00 pm.. The $5.00 admission fee covers music rental and refreshments.
