SUMMARY:Performance:UMS presents Samara Joy
DESCRIPTION:Few figures throughout jazz history have experienced the kind of meteoric success that vocalist Samara Joy has\, especially at such a young age. At just 26\, her career is nothing short of sensational.\n\nWith six Grammy Awards to her name\, including a Best New Artist win as well as an NAACP Image Award\, Joy has achieved the kind of profile typically reserved for pop celebrities.\n\nHer visibility has made her a steady presence on network TV and a favorite among younger music fans on TikTok\, where she’s helped introduce timeless American music to new generations. With each performance\, she has earned a reputation as a masterful interpreter of jazz standards as well as her own songs\, drawing comparisons to her legendary jazz heroines\, including Sarah Vaughan\, Betty Carter\, Abbey Lincoln\, and Carmen McRae.\n\nThe Bronx native began singing as a child and won the Best Vocalist at the Jazz at Lincoln Center’s prestigious Essentially Ellington program before studying jazz at SUNY Purchase\, winning the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Competition while still a student. Joy returns to Hill Auditorium with her septet after her sold-out 2024 UMS debut.

SUMMARY:Performance:Come from Away
DESCRIPTION:*Come from Away* is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander\, Newfoundland\, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover\, when 38 planes\, carrying thousands of people from around the globe\, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11\, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers\, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music\, an open bar\, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.\n\n*Come from Away* has earned global success with 37 award nominations and 13 wins\, most notably Best New Musical at the 2019 Olivier Awards and Outstanding Musical at the 2017 Drama Desk Awards. The show’s global presence resonates with audiences as an uplifting reminder of humanity’s ability to come together.\n\nBook\, Music\, and Lyrics by Irene Sankoff and David Hein\nDirected by Vincent J. Cardinal\nMusic Direction by Cynthia Kortman Westphal\n\n–––\n*Parking / Traffic alert for attendees:*\nhttps://smtd.umich.edu/2026-construction\n
