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

SUMMARY:Performance:Scythian
DESCRIPTION:“When Rock Star Charisma Meets Celtic Dervish Fiddling”  –Nashville's Music City Roots\n\nNamed after Ukrainian nomads\, Scythian (sith-ee-yin) plays roots music from Celtic\, Eastern European and Appalachian traditions with thunderous energy\, technical prowess\, and storytelling songwriting\, beckoning crowds into a barn-dance\, rock concert experience. The foursome made up of Alexander Fedoryka (Vocals\, Fiddle\, Mandolin\, Harmonica)\, Danylo Fedoryka (Vocals\, Guitar\, Accordion)\, Ethan Dean (Vocals\, Upright and Electric Bass\, Percussion\, Guitar) and Alex Kuldell (Vocals\, Drums\, Percussion) brings various influences together to create a conglomerate which is technically precise and steeped in various folk traditions. The classically trained Fedoryka brothers grew up on Ukrainian folk music and bluegrass\, while Ethan Dean was raised on the greats of 60’s & 70’s folk-rock. World Champion Scottish Drummer\, Alex Kuldell\, spent 20 years in the US Army Fife and Drum Corps and brings a precision and taste which can only be honed in the highest levels of competition and performance. You have to catch the live show to understand why The Camel City Dispatch said of a MerleFest performance: “[Scythian gives] no quarter in their quest to entertain and bring a joy to their music that gives it an irony-free\, wide open feel of manic possibility. The playing is technically brilliant\, but it is the energy that carries the day.\"

SUMMARY:Performance:Staff Explorer Pass | SMTD presents: *Time Passes*\, Eight Short Plays by Samuel Beckett
DESCRIPTION:Born in colonized Ireland just after the turn of the twentieth century\, Samuel Beckett wrote about how power works\, and how it works on people -- especially the dispossessed and the destitute. His own experience hiding from the Gestapo in the French countryside surfaces in most famous play\, *Waiting for Godot* (1953). *Time Passes* presents eight short plays written after Godot\, from the late 1950s to the early 1980s. Showcasing Beckett's verbal play and visual precision\, as well as his political imagination\, they meet our own moment—fierce\, funny\, uncompromising\, and compassionate as ever.\n\n+Complimentary tickets are limited to U-M staff members.+ \n+Register by 10/2+\n+Quantities are limited.+ \n+Register for yourself only.+\n+Can't make it?
