SUMMARY:Social / Informal Gathering:UMS Summer Sings
DESCRIPTION:The UMS Choral Union invites you to take part in the return of Summer Sings. Just come as you are to this no-audition\, no-performance evening of memorable music-making!\n\nAs many as 250 singers from southeastern Michigan\, northern Ohio\, and Canada have joined each session in singing through great choral repertoire with some of the nation’s most respected choral conductors and outstanding soloists. We rehearse portions of the score during the first half\, break for refreshments\, and then re-convene to sing through the entire work. This Summer Sings will feature the opportunity to join community members in singing Part 1 of Mendelssohn's \"Elijah\,\" in English. \n\nSummer Sings costs $5.00 paid at the door (cash only). Please arrive early at 6:30 pm for registration. \n\nPlease note: Due to construction around Hill Auditorium and the closure of E Washington St for the Ann Arbor Summer Festival\, we are unable to load in bleachers for the Hill stage as there is not enough room for a semi-truck to deliver them. As a result\, this year’s Hill Auditorium Summer Sings will have the singers seated in the audience instead of on the Hill Auditorium stage.
