About this Event
The University of Michigan’s own Symphony Band, a leader of the wind band movement in America, is set to embark on the , bringing the transformative power of music to communities across Michigan. From May 6-12, the tour will travel through eleven communities, engaging students and audiences alike with world-class performances and educational clinics.
Led by Jason K. Fettig, Director of Bands at U-M and former conductor of the United States Marine Corps Band, 58 U-M student musicians will perform in a variety of venues, from high school auditoriums to performing arts centers across Michigan. In addition to the concerts, interactive side-by-side clinics will provide regional high school students the opportunity to collaborate with U-M musicians, culminating in joint performances for local communities.
Each performance and clinic will provide high school students with an opportunity to interact with top-tier musicians, offering side-by-side educational clinic experiences where high school students will rehearse and perform alongside the U-M Symphony Band. These moments will culminate in a powerful finale featuring both U-M musicians and local students.
Demonstrating their commitment to artistic outreach, it is worth noting that the 58 U-M students are volunteering their time after classes end and staying longer in order to share their talents to inspire and connect with the next generation of musicians across the state of Michigan.
