Ghouls and goblins, gather ‘round your screens: The U-M Halloween Concert is going virtual! This thrilling annual U-M tradition features the University Symphony and Philharmonia Orchestras in costume, led by current Graduate conducting students, performing spooky symphonic Halloween favorites.

Highlights this year include an inventive, Zoom-style take on March of the Little Goblins, a new classic written by U-M alum Adam Glaser (now Music Director of the professional-caliber Juilliard Pre-College Orchestras and Director of Orchestras at Hofstra University) when he was an orchestral conducting student. March of the Little Goblins originally received its premiere as the opening number of the Halloween Concert at Hill Auditorium in 1997.
