From Our Archives: Israel Philharmonic Orchestra visits Ann Arbor

By UMS

The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra returns to Hill Auditorium with long-time conductor Zubin Mehta on March 15, 2014 (they’ll perform Bruckner Symphony No. 8).

From our archives, a photo from the orchestra’s visit to Ann Arbor in 1972.

In another visit in 1989, here is conductor Zubin Mehta with his wife U-M alumna Nancy Kovack as they visit with U-M president James Duderstadt and wife Anne Lock-Duderstadt at the president’s house.

Later, during a visit to the Martha Cook dormitory, the home of Nancy Kovack during her time at Michigan.

Finally, the contact sheet from that performance gives a sense of the bustle backstage at Hill Auditorium.
