The celebration of the 125th anniversary will be as wide-ranging as the School itself has become, comprising music, theatre, and dance; performance, scholarship, and service; faculty, students, and community. During the past winter term, a doctoral seminar on the history of the School has generated plans for a lecture series (under the auspices of the Center for Career Development) and a series of historical recitals to be performed both in the School and in surrounding communities. U-M composers past and present will loom large in these programs, as they will on the stages of our theatres and concert halls. The year will be formidably full as the School welcomes its new Dean and breaks ground on the Walgreen Drama center and Arthur Miller Theatre. Every ensemble and department of the School will contribute to the anniversary with special concerts and events presented throughout the year, with the culminating gala event a Collage Concert on April 1, 2006.
More events are taking shape over the next several months. Please check back here for more information throughout the year, and see the Calendar of Events for specific details.
