A true icon of modern music, Hancock has transcended limitations and genres while maintaining his unmistakable voice, and there are few artists in the music industry who have had more influence on acoustic and electronic jazz and R&B.\r\n\r\nBorn in Chicago in 1940, Hancock was a piano prodigy who performed a Mozart piano concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at age 11, years before he began playing jazz. After Detroit trumpeter Donald Byrd recognized his talents as a 20-year-old, he signed with Blue Note Records as a solo artist; his 1963 album produced the hit \u201cWatermelon Man,\u201d which marked him as an instant success story. A history-shaping tenure with the Miles Davis Quintet followed, and he would later herald the birth of jazz fusion. In short, he has been an integral part of every popular musical movement in the 50+ years since, leaving an indelible imprint wherever he lands.

We plan to invite Sheku and Isata to return to Hill Auditorium once they are touring together again.\n\nSiblings Sheku Kanneh-Mason and Isata Kanneh-Mason bring their extraordinary musical chemistry to a program that bridges Romantic lyricism and 20th-century innovation.\n\nOpening the program is Felix Mendelssohn\u2019s first cello sonata, a work of luminous interplay that reveals both the cello\u2019s expressive depth and the piano\u2019s crystalline brilliance. Then, Nadia Boulanger\u2019s striking miniatures demonstrate the full range of the cello\u2019s capabilities, as do Robert Schumann\u2019s folk-inspired short compositions. The program concludes with the trailblazing composer Rebecca Clarke, whose rich, expressive Viola Sonata is presented here in its cello arrangement. Written in 1919 for a competition, the work tied for first place with a sonata by Ernest Bloch and is admired for its sweeping lyricism, harmonic richness, technical brilliance, and sheer expressive power.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"137183-21879889@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/137183", "building_id":"1000177", "building_name":"Hill Auditorium", "building_official_id":1000177, "campus_maps_id":"69", "campus_maps_link_path":"hill-auditorium", "campus_maps_link":"https:\/\/maps.studentlife.umich.edu\/building\/hill-auditorium", "room":"", "location_name":"Hill Auditorium", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"Start at $14", "tags":["piano"], "website":"https:\/\/ums.org\/performance\/sheku-and-isata-kanneh-mason\/", "links":[ { "type":"tickets", "url":"https:\/\/ums.org\/performance\/sheku-and-isata-kanneh-mason\/", "title":"Buy Tickets" } ], "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Musical Society (UMS)", "group_id":"1141", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "image_description":"Isata and Sheku in front of staircase", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137183_original-1.jpg" }, "qr_code_url":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/137183\/qrcode.png", "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21879889 } , { "id":"137192-21879897", "datetime_modified":"20250806T124523", "datetime_start":"20260418T193000", "datetime_end":"20260418T210000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-04-18", "date_end":"2026-04-18", "time_start":"19:30:00", "time_end":"21:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"The Complete Philip Glass Piano Etudes", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"The Complete Philip Glass Piano Etudes: Co-presented with the Gilmore Piano Festival \/\/ Featuring 10 pianists", "event_subtitle":"Co-presented with the Gilmore Piano Festival \/\/ Featuring 10 pianists", "event_type":"Performance", "event_type_id":"15", "description":"One of the most influential composers of our time, Philip Glass has had an extraordinary and unprecedented impact on the musical and intellectual life of our age.\r\n\r\nGlass has written more than 30 operas, 14 symphonies, 13 concertos, numerous soundtracks to films, nine string quartets, a growing body of work for solo piano and organ, and collaborated with artists ranging from Twyla Tharp to Allen Ginsberg, Leonard Cohen and David Bowie.
