“The Berlin Philharmonic is playing with enthusiasm and precision under its new chief conductor.” (New York Times)
UMS proudly welcomes the next chapter of the Berlin Philharmonic’s magnificent legacy with the Ann Arbor debut of maestro Kirill Petrenko. He leads two programs that showcase the ensemble’s mastery across classical, romantic, and contemporary repertoire, including a new work by Andrew Norman, “the leading American composer of his generation.” (Los Angeles Times) Only a handful of US cities will host the Berlin Philharmonic in 2020, and UMS is the only one that will have an artistic residency as part of their appearance.
Note: both concerts are included on the Choral Union Series subscription package.
