UMS & DSO broadcast Sep 26

On Friday, September 26 at 7 p.m. we’ll have a special live broadcast on 90.9 FM of UMS’s 25/26 Season opener.  Hear Verdi’s monumental work that fuses the drama of opera with the spiritual depth of sacred music. Written in memory of the Italian poet and novelist Alessandro Manzoni, it is a profoundly moving reflection that is simultaneously intimate and epic.

This performance celebrates UMS’s ongoing relationship with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, UMS Choral Union, DSO music director Jader Bignamini and WRCJ-FM. The concert will only be performed in Ann Arbor with a one-time-only live 90.9 WRCJ broadcast, and brings together a stellar international cast of soloists: South African soprano Vuvu Mpofu, American mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, Mexican American tenor René Barbera, and Chinese bass-baritone Shenyang.

90.9 WRCJ’s Dave Wagner and Peter Whorf host live from Hill Auditorium for the 7:30pm performance, with a special preview from 7 p.m. -7:30 p.m.
