We can’t wait to kick off the New Year with many extraordinary performances. Take a peek. A reminder that the UMS ticket office is closed for the holidays through January 2, 2017, though ticket sales continue online.
There’s also still time in 2016 to make an annual gift to UMS. Your generosity ensures UMS can continue to unleash the power of the performing arts to engage, educate, and transform — inspiring people of all ages and enriching communities through uncommon and engaging experiences. The future vibrancy of our region depends on it.
From all of us at UMS, we wish you a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year filled with uncommon and engaging experiences.
