March at The University Musical Society Features A BILL FRISELL AMERICANA CELEBRATION, KYLE ABRAHAM/ ABRAHAM.IN.MOTION and More

The University Musical Society (UMS) heads into spring of its 2014-2015 season with an eclectic March line-up. The month of performances begins with jazz guitarist Bill Frisell performing a rare and intimate solo-guitar concert (Thursday, March 12), followed by a performance by Bill Frisell and his band When You Wish Upon a Star, featuring Petra Haden, Eyvind Kang, Thomas Morgan, and Rudy Royston (Friday, March 13).

Also that week, 2013 MacArthur Fellow Kyle Abraham and his dance company Abraham.In.Motion perform two companion pieces that explore race, identity, and the global aspiration for freedom: The Watershed (Friday, March 13) and When the Wolves Came In (Saturday, March 14). The following week, UMS and the Michigan Theater present a Live HD Screening of the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Love's Labour's Lost, set in the period leading up to World War I (Sunday, March 15).

The month continues with the Chicago Symphony Winds, whose program features two beloved Mozart serenades in Rackham Auditorium (Sunday, March 22). Later in the week, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and pianist Jeremy Denk perform works by J.S. Bach and Igor Stravinsky in historic Hill Auditorium (Wednesday, March 25), bringing an exciting month with UMS to a close.
