Limited tickets may be available at the door at 7:15 pm.*\n\nThe Department of Dance presents *Threshold*\, a collection of five works choreographed and directed by senior Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance majors Zamora Tamminga\, Sarah Snow\, Melisa Orduna\, Mia Brooks\, and Zeenia Shahpurwala. \n\n*Something has come undone* (Tamminga) is a series of vignettes of interpersonal relationships\, highlighting jazz music as a vessel for spontaneity\, resistance\, and connectivity. This theatrical work is set in a jazz bar\, where one’s intimate moments become deceptively public\, and where trying to forget may not be enough. \n\nDrawing from family dynamics\, sisterhood\, and early experiences of navigating unfamiliar emotions\, *Strangers Again* (Snow) examines how people carry\, suppress\, or redirect feelings\, and how those patterns manifest in the physical body. The dancers move through states of physical closeness and emotional distance\, tracing cycles of withdrawal\, fatigue\, and collective support. \n\n「三⾯鏡」*Sanmenkyou* (Brooks) is a triptych following three relational “faces”: the face shown to self\, the one to society\, and the face presented to the world through digital platforms\; where authenticity\, performance\, and global visibility coexist. Fundamentally based on the Japanese concepts of *honne* (true feelings) and *tatemae* (public façade)\, the conditions this describes are familiar to many multi-ethnic individuals navigating multiple cultural frameworks. \n\n*El Final* (Orduna) is rooted in the intensity of pivotal moments shaped by closure. The work explores the end of a chapter as it unfolds with heightened emotion and deep nostalgia. Through climactic\, tango-like scores and orchestral textures\, the dance’s journey traces the arc of longing and finality. Impermanence is the catalyst to growth\, unveiling the possibilities within every conclusion. \n\n*Ephemeral River* (Shahpurwala) explores the joy and silly little feeling dance brings when experienced onstage. Inviting the audience into a vibrant world shaped by play and genuine enjoyment\, the piece celebrates dance as a space for freedom\, humor\, and shared pleasure. The work invites performers and audiences alike to share in the simple joy of connection and moving together.

The duo\, along with the rest of the people in town\, worship a god called PLAY-ER and follow rules written down in a magical book. It has been foretold that a band of heroes chosen by their god will come to slay the demon king who’s been terrorizing the land. The people of Storyn\, the NON PLAY-ER Chosen or NPC for short\, wait breathlessly for that day. \n\nWhen the heroes do arrive\, Tem — as the book professes — must guide them on their journey. However\, nothing can prepare Tem for what their chosen warriors truly are: a group unlike anything written down in their book. As the lines between what is “good” and “evil” begin to blur\, Tem grapples with the fact that maybe not everything is as black and white as their sacred book makes it out to be.

Limited tickets may be available at the door at 7:15 pm.*\n\nThe Department of Dance presents *Re:Frame* with choreography by senior Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance majors Emerson Forbes\, Irene Kim\, Julia Lepore\, Ava Menzel\, Ladina Schaller\, and Jessica Serres. \n\n*Film Is a Dream Realized*\, choreographed by Emerson Forbes\, is rooted in the contemporary fusion dance style and vintage Hollywood cinema – and inspired by her great grandfather\, a famous composer for classic films. This piece explores how cinematic elegance can be brought to life through the integration of live dance and projected film elements within a stylized black and white aesthetic. The choreography aims to create a richly textured atmosphere that echoes the expressive energy and timeless sophistication of classic movies. \n\n*decode & ENCRYPT*\, choreographed by Irene Kim\, is inspired by 2016 robotic installation “Can’t Help Myself” by Sun Yuan and Peng Yu and investigates the raw and visceral human toll of living in a high-pressure society. This piece offers the audience the opportunity to witness the quiet “bleeding out” of the personal self that results from the pressure to always be optimized\, to always perform\, to always keep up the appearance of being the best versions of ourselves. \n\n*Flipping Through the Pages*\, choreographed by Julia Lepore\, is a movement trailer based on a self-published novel she wrote titled *Different Fonts*. These two works of art encapsulate the psychology behind dance through fictional characters and an audacious storyline. In watching this piece\, you are immersed in a live action replication of the movement behind the words written on this novel’s pages. Beyond the 10 minutes of performing\, and the 400+ pages of writing\, there is still so much left unwritten…\n\n*Of Something I Left Behind*\, choreographed by Ava Menzel\, investigates time as something felt rather than measured. Through contemporary-based movement\, the work explores themes of remembering\, forgetting\, distortion as time moves forward\, and how nostalgia can feel both comforting and deeply unsettling.\n\n*Who’s there?!*\, choreographed by Ladina Schaller\, serves as a glimpse into a work performed at Nichols Arboretum on April 18\, where on a walk through the forest the audience will encounter fragments of personalities\, whispers of old stories and a world of unanswered questions. Local artists and friends are chipping in to create this world via dance\, live music\, acting and puppetry. \n\n*Pulsafuerte*\, choreographed by Jessica Serres\, explores the consequences of cultural clashing in a place it was unexpected to form. She explores how conflict and presence have an effect on the meshing of ideas and the creation of community.

Audiences are invited to join Coleman and the company for a single public performance on North Campus.\n\n*Victors of Character: A Story of Loyalty\, Integrity\, and the Courage to Make a Difference* is adapted for the stage based on the 2016 documentary *Black and Blue* by Brian Kruger and Buddy Moorehouse. The play tells the story of the 1934 game between University of Michigan and Georgia Institute of Technology. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets agreed to play in Ann Arbor that season on the condition that the Wolverines could not play Willis Ward\, the team's only African-American player. \"Many of Ward's teammates were outraged when athletic officials at the University of Michigan agreed to the demand\,\" said Metz. \"The most outraged Wolverine was Ward's roommate\, a lineman from Grand Rapids named Gerald Ford.\" What does it mean to do the right thing when you feel the system around you is wrong?\n\nPerfect for families\, *Victors of Character* has a running time of about 35 minutes with a 15 minute talkback immediately following.

Limited tickets may be available at the door at 7:15 pm.*\n\nThe Department of Dance presents *Threshold*\, a collection of five works choreographed and directed by senior Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance majors Zamora Tamminga\, Sarah Snow\, Melisa Orduna\, Mia Brooks\, and Zeenia Shahpurwala. \n\n*Something has come undone* (Tamminga) is a series of vignettes of interpersonal relationships\, highlighting jazz music as a vessel for spontaneity\, resistance\, and connectivity. This theatrical work is set in a jazz bar\, where one’s intimate moments become deceptively public\, and where trying to forget may not be enough. \n\nDrawing from family dynamics\, sisterhood\, and early experiences of navigating unfamiliar emotions\, *Strangers Again* (Snow) examines how people carry\, suppress\, or redirect feelings\, and how those patterns manifest in the physical body. The dancers move through states of physical closeness and emotional distance\, tracing cycles of withdrawal\, fatigue\, and collective support. \n\n「三⾯鏡」*Sanmenkyou* (Brooks) is a triptych following three relational “faces”: the face shown to self\, the one to society\, and the face presented to the world through digital platforms\; where authenticity\, performance\, and global visibility coexist. Fundamentally based on the Japanese concepts of *honne* (true feelings) and *tatemae* (public façade)\, the conditions this describes are familiar to many multi-ethnic individuals navigating multiple cultural frameworks. \n\n*El Final* (Orduna) is rooted in the intensity of pivotal moments shaped by closure. The work explores the end of a chapter as it unfolds with heightened emotion and deep nostalgia. Through climactic\, tango-like scores and orchestral textures\, the dance’s journey traces the arc of longing and finality. Impermanence is the catalyst to growth\, unveiling the possibilities within every conclusion. \n\n*Ephemeral River* (Shahpurwala) explores the joy and silly little feeling dance brings when experienced onstage. Inviting the audience into a vibrant world shaped by play and genuine enjoyment\, the piece celebrates dance as a space for freedom\, humor\, and shared pleasure. The work invites performers and audiences alike to share in the simple joy of connection and moving together.

A search for and an embrace of the self. I imagine they were left with a headscratcher of a question: well\, shit. Where do you go from there?\n\nFortunately\, they listened to the wizard and followed their noses backwards to find their way forward. \n\nAiming to strip away pretense and invite experimentation\, they commandeered a garden shed from a friend and retrofitted it to make a twenty-track album that is vast\, weird\, and wholly unexpected. \n\nIf Lefty is anything\, it is the journal of Penny and Sparrow’s inner child. Dog-eared\, lock busted open. On its pages the sketches of dreams\, nightmares\, erotica\, and literary fan fiction graffiti the margins of poetry\, elegies\, and love letters in the wild colors of saxophone blue\, electronic pink\, and blood harmony red. \n\nBeautifully varied and richly rendered\, it is an album that wanders from theme to theme\, style to style\, exultation to tragedy. Yet it is never lost. If anything\, it is at play. \n\nUnited by its intimate vocals and aching harmonies\, its acoustic laments trickle into ethereal pop only to surge into whimsical ballads and crest into grand hooligan anthems that sway gently down to familiar shores where melancholic ballads tell of love lost\, found\, forgotten\, and remembered. \n\nAndy and Kyle have written some albums in blood. Others they’ve whispered to the sea. This one they danced in the sky with smiles on their faces. Lefty feels like not just a celebration of their journey beyond the bounds of their traditional genre\, but as if they have rediscovered the joy in music by honoring the sounds that inspired two boys growing up in Texas to one day make the damn stuff themselves.\n\n–Pierce Brown\, author and friend\n\n\nVIP includes:\n \nOne general admission ticket\nEarly entry into the venue\nAccess to an intimate pre-show soundcheck party (2-3 songs)\nQ&A with Penny & Sparrow\nLimited edition tour poster\; autographed by Penny & Sparrow\nCrowd Free Merchandise Shopping\nLimited availability\n \nEarly Entry includes:\n\nOne general admission ticket\nEarly entry into the venue\nLimited edition tour poster\; autographed by Penny & Sparrow\nCrowd Free Merchandise Shopping\nLimited availability UID:139929-21886360@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/139929 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Ark,Mutotix LOCATION:ARK Reserved CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260406T121633 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20260411T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20260411T213000 SUMMARY:Performance:So Hyang In\, piano DESCRIPTION:DMA candidate in piano performance So Hyang In performs a dissertation recital.

The duo\, along with the rest of the people in town\, worship a god called PLAY-ER and follow rules written down in a magical book. It has been foretold that a band of heroes chosen by their god will come to slay the demon king who’s been terrorizing the land. The people of Storyn\, the NON PLAY-ER Chosen or NPC for short\, wait breathlessly for that day. \n\nWhen the heroes do arrive\, Tem — as the book professes — must guide them on their journey.

With a career spanning 40 years and a discography of 17 solo releases\, he embodies the best of folk music with his eclectic blend of folk\, blues and bluegrass influences\, insightful lyrics and engaging delivery. John’s career was launched in the mid-80s when he won the prestigious New Folk award at the Kerrville Folk Festival in 1984. \n\nSeveral years later he signed to Red House records for the release of his debut album I Know. He migrated to Windham Hill/High Street for his subsequent three releases\, earning extensive critical acclaim from a variety of publications including Rolling Stone which dubbed him the preeminent male singer-songwriter of the New Folk Movement. He returned to Red House in 1998 and has since released a string of albums that have achieved folk chart-topping success.\n\nHailing from New Jersey\, but forged in the Greenwich Village Fast Folk scene\, John has honed his craft and persona into an unmistakable image. The shy\, wry\, insightful\, and yes\, sensitive singer-songwriter has been copied and parodied. But the old coat he wove still fits\, and still suits him well. The old songs ring as true as they ever did\, and the new ones are just as good.

There will also be a post-performance discussion.*\n\nGustav and Alma Mahler arrived in New York City in 1907. He had been invited to lead the Metropolitan Opera\; his glamorous wife accompanied him to the New World. His embattled American career places their legendary marriage in sharp relief. Nineteen years Gustav’s junior\, Alma was his constant companion and occasional soul-mate\, sometimes his muse\, always his caretaker\, a woman otherwise restless and unfulfilled. Her husband’s life was intensely interior\, sporadically alert to others’ needs and desires.\n\nHorowitz writes: “My play is based on my 2023 novel with the same name. Its central event is Alma’s affair with Walter Gropius and her wrenching decision to remain with Mahler. As *The Marriage* illuminates\, there are things to be learned about Gustav and Alma that cannot as readily be observed in Vienna or Budapest as in Manhattan. Mahler was a great personality and\, when circumstances permitted\, a great man. He arrived in America weakened and fatigued. His energy and idealism were aroused by the New World\, but fitfully – he remained a chronic outsider.”\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTIST\n\nJOSEPH HOROWITZ is an award-winning author\, concert producer\, film-maker\, and broadcaster. He is one of the most prominent and widely published writers on topics in American music. As an orchestral administrator and advisor\, he has been a pioneering force in the development of thematic programming and new concert formats. Horowitz’s most recent books include a novel\, *The Marriage: The Mahlers in New York*\, about which Clive Paget wrote in *Musical America*: “With his unparalleled knowledge of fin-de-siècle classical music in America\, Joseph Horowitz [has] brought us closer to Mahler and his wife Alma than any other author I have read. . . . At times\, your heart breaks for them both. . . . In Gustav and Alma Mahler\, Horowitz has created two of classical music’s most convincing fictional portraits.” Another Horowitz book\, *Dvorak’s Prophecy and the Vexed Fate of Black Classical Music*\, tells a story that “must be heard if classical music is to contribute to the national discussion on racial justice” (according to Mark Clague of the University of Michigan). A former *New York Times* music critic\, and Executive Director of the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra\, Horowitz works as an artistic consultant for orchestras throughout the US\, and also regularly produces 50-minute “More than Music” documentaries for National Public Radio.

His album Streets Of New York was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by Uncut. Rolling Stone listed The Innocent Ones as one of the “Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011” and BBC Radio called it “THE rock ‘n’ roll album of the year.” His single from that album\, “One Guitar\,” was the “Top Pick of the Week” in USA Today.\n\nBono\, Bruce Springsteen\, Pete Townshend\, Lou Reed\, Lucinda Williams\, Jim Jarmusch\, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises.\n\nWillie has a new album called The Great Yellow Light. MOJO gave it 4 Stars and wrote: \"On his 21st album in a career of remarkable consistency\, he again delivers a batch of classic rock 'n' roll.\" Poet Richard Hoffman wrote: \"It's a masterpiece! The title track brought me to tears. An album that can make you dance and make you cry. R 'n' R at its best.\" PowerPop Magazine wrote: \"Nile has the Mark of the Bard upon him.\" Willie will be touring in Europe and in North America this year in support of the new album and lives in New York City.

He describes himself as a composer of “music with repetitive structures” and says that “If I’m to be remembered for anything\, it will probably be for the piano music\, because people can play it.”\n\nPhilip Glass conceived his collection of etudes as a set of 20 works for solo piano written to improve his own performance technique. His most personal body of work is a self-portrait of a life’s practice\, representing some of the most intimate and inventive music of Glass’s oeuvre. This distinctive concert offering of all 20 of Glass’s etudes features 10 pianists onstage\, each offering a unique musical tribute to this masterful composer.

She has centered her work on lifting up people whose contributions to American musical history have previously been overlooked or erased\, advocating for a more accurate understanding of the country’s musical origins through art.\n\nA founding member of the landmark Black string band Carolina Chocolate Drops and the all-female banjo supergroup Our Native Daughters\, Giddens is as much a curator as a creator\, serving as artistic director of the Silkroad Ensemble\, hosting a podcast that digs deep into opera arias\, publishing two children’s books\, and even performing music for the soundtrack of Red Dead Redemption II\, one of the best-selling video games of all time. Giddens takes the stage with her latest musical explorations for this capstone concert following her residency with the U-M Arts Initiative.

Ultimately\, Bowersox auditioned for the ninth season of American Idol\, and her time on the show proved to be well spent.

Each of these brief works is painted in subtle shades\, hazy harmonies\, and daring textures\, with inspiration ranging from paintings and travel to Dickens and Peter Pan.\n\nThibaudet has lived with Debussy’s Preludes for his “entire life\,” learning some as a child and recording the full set more than 30 years ago.

He’s always been that way\, and he has never understood the whole phenomenon of smiling in pictures\, although he is a very happy guy. One night in middle school he stayed up under the covers with a flashlight and a DiscMan\, listening to Reba McEntire’s 'That’s the Night that the Lights Went Out in Georgia' on repeat until the DiscMan ran out of batteries. That night he became a songwriter\, although he didn’t actually write a song until years later. After high school he spent a few years distracting himself from having to gather up the courage to do what he knew he had to do.\n\nEventually he found his way to a writing degree\, and then a teaching degree. He wrote most days like his life depended on it\, all sorts of things\, not just songs\, but songs too. He fell in love with teaching high school English\, which was fantastic because he never thought he’d actually come to truly love it. His students were fierce and unstoppable forces of noise and curiosity\, and for all that they took from him in sleep and sense\, they gave him a hundred times back in sparks and humility. \n\nAll the while he was also playing truckloads of music. There was one weekend where he flew to LA while grading essays on the plane\, played two shows\, and then flew back home\, still grading essays\, and woke up to teach at 5 am on Monday morning. It was around this time he started wondering if such a life was sustainable.\n\nAlas\, music\, the tour life\, was a constant raccoon scratching at the back door. Jeffrey spent nights on end sitting up in bed\, and then sitting on the front porch\, staring off into the dark\, wondering if he could bear to leave teaching to go on tour full time. Eventually his brain caught up with what his guts had known for months. With tears in his eyes he announced to his students that he wouldn’t be back the following year\, and that he didn’t feel right hollering at them to chase their dreams at all cost if he wasn’t going to do the same.\n\nJeffrey Martin tours full time now. He is always making music\, and he is always coming through your town. He misses teaching like you might miss a good old friend who you know you’ll meet again.
