SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Full Moon Festival Astronomy Talks
DESCRIPTION:**This event is at capacity\, registration is currently closed.**\n\nFor many cultures across East Asia\, family and friends come together for the mid-autumn Full Moon with festivities\, delicious food\, and good company. The Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies\, U-M Astronomy\, the Nam Center for Korean Studies\, and the Center for Japanese Studies invite you to the Judy & Stanley Frankel Detroit Observatory for a special celebration of the Mid-Autumn Full Moon. Mooncakes will be available to all in-person registrants\, courtesy of the Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies.\n\nTalk 1 - Much About Moons! (Logan Pearce\, ELT Postdoctoral Fellow\, Department of Astronomy)\n\nSail through a tour of the neatest moons in the solar system\, highlighting the specialness of Earth’s Moon. Visit fascinating moons like Io\, Titan\, Europa\, Enceladus\, and even Pluto. We will then explore detections of moons around other planets outside our solar system.\n\nTalk 2 - Wild Thoughts on Our Moon: Listening to the Universe from the Dark Side (Bingcheng Jin\, Graduate Student\, Department of Astronomy)\n\nWe will journey through history to explore humanity’s ancient fascination with the Moon and consider one of the wildest ideas in science history: building observatories on the Moon. Proposed lunar-based observatories would be shielded from Earth’s radio chatter\, allowing us to hear the first whispers of the cosmos. We will also discuss the social concerns of building on the Moon\, including discussion with the audience.\n\nIf you’d like to attend virtually\, please register for the Zoom Webinar at: https://myumi.ch/NXVPz

SUMMARY:Performance:[CANCELED] UMS presents The Cleveland Orchestra with Franz Welser-Möst
DESCRIPTION:Updated 9/25/26: The Cleveland Orchestra musicians went on strike early this morning\, and their concert at Hill Auditorium scheduled for Friday\, September 25 has been canceled.\n\nPROGRAM\nFranz Liszt Orpheus\nBohuslav Martinů Symphony No. 2\, H. 295\nJohannes Brahms Symphony No. 2 in D major\, Op. 73\n\nAfter a 15-year absence\, The Cleveland Orchestra returns to Ann Arbor to open UMS’s season\, with a program conducted by Franz Welser-Möst in his 25th and final year as music director of the ensemble.\n\nThe performance opens with one of Liszt’s 12 symphonic poems\, Orpheus\, a work that composer Camille Saint-Saëns said is “woven of sunbeams and starlight.” \n\nBohuslav Martinů’s Symphony No. 2\, commissioned by the Czechoslovakian community in Cleveland in 1943 and premiered by the Orchestra\, is appreciated for its pastoral character and a joie de vivre that has been likened to fellow Czech Antonín Dvořák’s orchestral compositions. \n\nThe program closes with Johannes Brahms’s second symphony\, another pastoral work with mischievous dances and peaceful melodies.\n\nPlease note early 7 pm start time.\n\nA pre-performance talk with UMS and Cleveland Orchestra leadership begins at 5:45 pm in the Modern Languages Building.
