UMS Choral Union presents Summer Sings:
Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana
The UMS Choral Union invites you to take part in the return of Summer Sings. Just come as you are to this no-audition, no-performance evening of memorable music-making!
As many as 250 singers from southeastern 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. We rehearse portions of the score during the first half, break for refreshments, and then re-convene to sing through the entire work.
Summer Sings costs $5.00 paid at the door (cash only). Please arrive early at 6:30 pm for registration.
