Location: Hill Auditorium
Organized By: Michigan Medicine

The U-M Life Sciences Orchestra will kick off its 20th season of blending music, medicine and science, with a free concert at 4 p.m. at U-M’s Hill Auditorium under the baton of music director Tal Benatar.

The concert is free and open to the public, as is a pre-concert lecture at 3:15 p.m. in the lower lobby. No tickets are required, though the LSO accepts donations to support its concerts.

The performance will begin with the overture to Fidelio, the only opera written by Ludwig van Beethoven, followed by the fairy tale-inspired Mother Goose Suite by Maurice Ravel. It will conclude with Finnish composer Jean Sibelius’s First Symphony.

The program offers a wide range of orchestral colors, highlighting the musical talents of the LSO’s members, nearly all of whom are medical, health and science faculty, staff, students, retirees and alumni from across the university.

Benatar is pursuing a doctorate, and assistant conductor Nathan Bieber a master’s degree, in the renowned orchestral conducting program at the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance.

Benatar holds the Gilbert S. Omenn, M.D. Music Director position with the LSO, made possible by a gift from its namesake, the first U-M executive vice president for medical affairs and a longtime supporter of the LSO. He is also Assistant Music Director of the Michigan Pops Orchestra, and a multi-instrument performer of classical, contemporary and popular music.

The orchestra is part of the Gifts of Art program, which brings the world of art and music to Michigan Medicine. Plans to celebrate the 20th anniversary at the LSO’s concert at 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 11 are now under way.

For information, visit http://lso.med.umich.edu/ or www.facebook.com/umlso, send e-mail to orchestra@umich.edu, or call (734) 936-ARTS.

Location: Hill Auditorium
Organized By: Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

The University of Michigan will host the 34th annual Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium on Monday, January 20, 2020 beginning at 10 a.m. at Hill Auditorium.

This year’s theme, “The (Mis)Education of US,” will feature keynote speaker Angela Davis, educator, political activist, and author. Dr. Davis is known for her work surrounding social, economic, racial, and gender justice.

Since 1986, the University of Michigan has hosted its annual Martin Luther King Jr.
Symposium, one of the largest celebrations by colleges and universities in the nation.

The theme is composed by faculty, staff and students across campus based on its relevance to current social justice issues and the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr.

This year’s theme, “The (Mis)Education of US,” acknowledges that although we live in a diverse society, we have not been adequately educated on who we are and how we can best learn, live and prosper together.

The Keynote lecture is coordinated by the Office of Academic Multicultural Initiatives
under the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and co-sponsored by the Stephen M. Ross School of Business with support from the William K. McInally Memorial Lecture Fund, and Michigan Athletics.

The U-M MLK symposium is open to the University community and the general public. For those who are unable to attend in person, they are encouraged to watch the event online or as part of a group watch party by visiting mlksymposium.umich.edu

Organized By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Kenneth Kiesler, conductor
Logan Skelton, piano

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

The University Symphony Orchestra performs dance--inspired music by Gershwin and Rachmaninoff. In Gershwin’s Cuban Overture, originally entitled Rhumba, Cuban percussion instruments and Caribbean rhythms evoke the sounds and atmosphere of Gershwin’s visit to Cuba. With its famous opening clarinet slide, swagger and charm, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue springs from the America of the Roaring Twenties and crosses the tracks between the jazz and popular song of New York’s Tin Pan Alley and the classical realm of Carnegie Hall. U-M faculty member, Logan Skelton, who recently played Gershwin’s Concerto in F with the USO returns as piano soloist. The program continues with Rachmaninoff's virtuosic and colorful Symphonic Dances, a suite of 3 dances which balances Rachmaninoff’s lush melodies, colorful harmonies, and energetic rhythms with Russian church music. It also features one of the most famous and lyrical saxophone solos in the orchestral repertoire. As the last piece he composed for orchestra, Symphonic Dances sums up Rachmaninoff’s style, with its innovation as well as its nostalgia for the Russia of the past.

PROGRAM:
Gershwin - Cuban Overture, Rhapsody in Blue
Rachmaninoff - Symphonic Dances

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.

Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple. A handful of tech companies have changed the way we live and built unprecedented industrial bases in the process. Their reach extends far beyond our pocketbooks into privacy, individual liberties, and the fabric of our democracy.

In August 2018, Facebook’s chief security officer Alex Stamos announced he would leave the company following reports of disagreements with other executives over how to address the Russian government’s use of Facebook to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Since his departure he’s advocated for the breakup of the tech giant and co-authored the white paper “Securing American Elections: Prescriptions for Enhancing the Integrity and Independence of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Elections and Beyond.”

Do we really understand what we are giving away in exchange for speed and convenience? Do the tech giants understand, or care about, their responsibility in this digital age that they created?

Alex Stamos is the former chief security officer at Facebook and is now director of the Stanford Cyber Policy Center’s Internet Observatory at Stanford University.

Kara Swisher is the co-founder and executive editor of Recode and host of the weekly interview podcast “Recode Decode.” She is also the co-executive editor of Code Conferences, which feature prominent speakers from the digital industry. She is a regular contributor to The New York Times opinion pages and a Livingston Awards national judge.

This event is co-sponsored by Computer Science and Engineering, the College of Engineering, the Center for Social Media Responsibility, ITS and Dissonance at the University of Michigan and Duo Security.

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

The Campus Symphony Orchestra presents a program of popular orchestral works. The program features Antonin Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 "From the New World,” which describes Dvořák 's new life in America. Evoking Native-American chant, work-songs, spirituals, and Czech folk music, it is one of the most tuneful and ear-catching symphonies in the repertoire. Aaron Copland's “Buckaroo Holiday" from the ballet Rodeo opens the program with upbeat rhythms and old cowboy songs. Samuel Barber's lesser-known First Essay follows, combining pensive reflections with urban agitation.

The Campus Philharmonia Orchestra presents a colorful program inspired in dances. The journey starts with the Bohemian rhythms of Smetana’s Three Dances from The Bartered Bride: The “Polka”, the “Furiant” and the “Dance of the Comedians.” The next piece on the program is Gabriel Faure’s elegant and processional, Pavane. The “Waltz of the Flowers” from the popular and celebrated Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky continues the program, which ends with the Russian folk flavor of the “Polovtsian Dances” from Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin.

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth, the University Symphony Orchestra, with soloists, Chamber Choir, University Choir, and Orpheus Singers present the “quest for freedom” and plea for “universal brotherhood,” Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. The words of Schiller’s Ode to Joy are the inspiration for the powerful and inspiring finale.

In his Serenade to Music, for voices and orchestra, inspired by Shakespeare’s words about music in the spheres from The Merchant of Venice, Vaughan Williams has created a stunningly beautiful and powerful tribute to the powers of music and its “sweet harmony.”

PROGRAM:
Vaughan Williams- Serenade to Music
Beethoven- Symphony No. 9
