The spring concert of the U-M Life Sciences Orchestra will feature the 150-member UMS Choral Union, and special guest solo vocalists, performing a stirring oratorio by English composer Edward Elgar.
Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius is often performed in England but rarely in America, making this a unique opportunity to hear the work featured in the new movie The Choral starring Ralph Fiennes.
The performance, which will be without an intermission, will begin at 7:30 p.m. with the American Overture by another English composer, Benjamin Britten.
Music director Nicholas Bromilow, who is English, will conduct the Elgar. Assistant conductor Michael Roest, who is American, will conduct the Britten. Both are graduate students in the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance’s acclaimed orchestral conducting program.
The UMS Choral Union is directed by Scott Hanoian.
The LSO is made up of faculty, staff, students, alumni, retirees, and family members from across the U-M health and life science community, who audition each year to take part in the orchestra. It is part of Gifts of Art at Michigan Medicine. The Choral Union is open to U-M students and adults from U-M and the community by audition, and is part of UMS.
