University Orchestra: A Spring Dance Party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

April 7th, 2026 | UM-Flint Theatre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Under the direction of Matthew Forsleff, lecturer II in music, the University Orchestra performed a selection of compositions that spoke to the theme\u00a0“A Spring Dance Party.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showcasing an intriguing range of styles and eras, the evening opened with Alberto Ginastera’s vibrant \u201cDanza Final\u201d, followed by Howard Hanson’s reflective \u201cRhythmic Variations on Two Ancient Hymns\u201d. The program’s centerpiece was Bach’s beloved \u201cConcerto for Two Violins BWV 1043,\u201d featuring soloists Dustin Burns and Michael Hilliker. Gustav Holst’s lively \u201cJig from Saint Paul’s Suite\u201d gave way to Luigi Boccherini’s charming \u201cSinfonia in D,\u201d moving through four contrasting movements from bright Allegro to spirited Presto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jazz Ensemble & Jazz Combo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

April 9th, 2026 | UM-Flint Theatre<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Professor of Music Brian DiBlassio directed the Jazz Ensemble & Jazz Combo through an exploration of the vitality and breadth of jazz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jazz Combo opened with an intimate set spanning classic and contemporary styles, featuring Cole Porter’s timeless \u201cWhat Is This Thing Called Love,\u201d Pat Metheny’s introspective \u201cSo It May Secretly Begin,\u201d and swinging selections from Dave Holland, Frank Churchill, and Stanton Moore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jazz Ensemble then took the stage with a dynamic, wide-ranging program. From Charlie Parker’s bebop staple \u201cBillie’s Bounce\u201d to the Latin fire of Oscar Hernandez’s \u201cP&C Mambo\u201d and the smooth groove of Casiopea’s \u201cMidnight Rendezvous,\u201d the set balanced energy with elegance, closing with tender ballad and blues-infused selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
