Curious about UMS performances, but haven’t taken the plunge? Want to learn more about an unfamiliar artist or genre?

Explore the connection between composer/conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and the music of Stravinsky’s Firebird (the complete ballet score from 1910) with this unforgettable evening with the world-renowned Philharmonia Orchestra.

UMS and Ann Arbor Public Schools Community Education & Recreation (“Rec & Ed”) are offering pre-performance classes created especially for first-time UMS attendees, curious audience members, or anyone who simply enjoys attending performances with a group.

Participants can register for the workshop along with a performance ticket, or for the workshop only. Class sessions will take place in the performance venue or at a nearby (walkable) location. (Sorry, no ticket exchanges or refunds for previously purchased tickets.)

To participate in UMS 101, you must register through the Rec & Ed website and pay the registration fee ($15 for workshop only, or $59 for workshop plus a ticket to the performance).

This event is a collaboration between UMS and Ann Arbor Public Schools Community Education & Recreation (“Rec & Ed”). 

Each UMS 101 class will be facilitated by a dance, jazz, or classical music expert and feature conversation, interactive exercises, and mini-lectures that will help you better understand the genre and have a more enjoyable UMS performance experience. The classes will bring you together with other audience members who are curious about the performing arts and want to learn more.
