The much-anticipated, annual Collage Concert never fails to amaze. This year, the Collage Concert kicks off a yearlong celebration of the U-M’s Bicentennial, looking back to 1817, and looking forward. In addition, the concert will honor the late Gustav Meier, Professor Emeritus of Conducting. An internationally celebrated conductor and teacher, Meier’s time at Michigan ushered in a new era of symphonic and operatic excellence along with initiating a number of SMTD annual traditions including the Collage Concert. The concert’s distinctive format features the incredible range of SMTD ensembles and programs performing one riveting work after another without pause, while showcasing student talent from across all performing arts disciplines. It’s a non-stop, exhilarating evening of virtuoso performances.

The 2016-2017 Hill Concert Series is sponsored by Meijer Corporation.
