    Handel’s Messiah - UMS Choral Union - Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra - 2021

    $29-$43
    07:30 PM - 09:00 PM, every day through Dec 05, 2021.
    Born in Germany, Handel spent nearly 50 years based in London. In the 1730s, his interest in composing sacred oratorios grew, and his approach to the form focused on the human response to the divine. Over the course of just a few weeks in the summer of 1741, Handel composed the entirety of his oratorio Messiah, which had a triumphant premiere six months later at a new concert hall in Dublin. Nearly 300 years later, Messiah continues to fill Hill Auditorium with its ravishing beauty, brought to life by friends and colleagues from the community. Music director Scott Hanoian conducts the UMS Choral Union and the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra in this annual holiday tradition.<br><br> PERFORMANCES SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2021 7:30 PM SUNDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2021 2:00 PM

    GIVE 'EM HELL HARRY

    $44-$46
    07:30 PM - 09:30 PM, every day through Dec 12, 2021.
    When Harry Truman was unexpectedly thrust into the U.S. Presidency in 1945, he was ridiculed by both the press and the public as “the little man from Missouri”. Seven years later when he left office, he was hailed the world over as one of the great leaders of the 20th Century. Now actor and former US Congressman Fred Grandy, well known from his years as Gopher on The Love Boat, offers a virtuoso turn as our 33rd President in a new production of Give Em Hell, Harry. The one-man show tells the inspirational story of the feisty mule trader’s son who rose from obscurity to successfully guide our country through one of the most turbulent periods in American history. Using Truman’s own words, Samuel Gallu’s play reminds us that the gentle wit and plain-spoken wisdom of Harry Truman is even more relevant and engaging today than when it premiered in 1975. 7:30PM on Weds-Thurs-Fri, 2:00 PM matinee on Sat-Sun Starring: Fred Grandy as Harry Truman Directed by Broadway’s Hunter Foster

    Digital Exhibitions: The New Freedom Fighters: Women and Nonviolent Resistance and Borderlands Under Fire

    Stamelos Gallery Center, website
    Free
    12:00 PM - 01:00 PM, every day through Dec 17, 2021.
    While the Stamelos Gallery Center remains closed to the public, we are pleased to announce two digital exhibitions by Chicago-based artist, Kristin Anahit Cass. Her art explores the intensely personal spaces where our lives intersect, considering underlying questions of social justice and human rights. As an artist of mixed ethnicity and a descendent of genocide survivors, Cass’s work reflects her passion for amplifying diverse voices telling stories that inspire change. The New Freedom Fighters: Women and Nonviolent Resistance project explores the often unrecognized role that women play in the survival and evolution of cultures and communities. The women profiled in this project live every day under military threat and use different types of nonviolent resistance to defend their human rights and mitigate the consequences of war in their communities. <br><br> Borderlands Under Fire exposes the world of a frozen conflict and documents the effects of state-sponsored violence on daily life in the frontier villages of Armenia, a tiny country in the South Caucasus. Caught at the geopolitical crossroads of East and West, Armenian villagers find themselves used as pawns in a political power game, and ignored by international organizations like the OSCE and the UN. But they refuse to give up their agency, and they continue working to make change from within their communities. The project explores the villagers’ use of creative nonviolent resistance to defend their human rights and develop their communities. <br><br> The Stamelos Gallery Center is pleased to share these digital exhibitions with the UM Dearborn campus and greater community! The New Freedom Fighters: Women and Nonviolent Resistance and Borderlands Under Fire will be available for viewing on December 14, 2020 at: www.umdearborn.edu/stamelos.<br><br>

    The Milk Carton Kids

    St. Cecilia Music Center
    $40-50
    07:30 PM - 09:00 PM on Thu, 2 Dec 2021
    Listening to The Milk Carton Kids -- Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale -- talk about their creative process, it’s easy to imagine them running in opposite directions even while yoked together.&nbsp;<br><br> “Joey and I famously have an adversarial relationship,” Pattengale says. They dig at each other in interviews and on stage, where Ryan plays his own straight man, while Pattengale tunes his guitar. The songs emerge somewhere in the silences and the struggle between their sensibilities. They have been known to argue over song choices. They have been known to argue about everything from wardrobe to geography to grammar. But their singing is the place where they make room for each other and the shared identity that rises out of their combined voices. Defying the conventions of melody and harmony is a strategy The Milk Carton Kids have consciously embraced.&nbsp;<br><br> The Only Ones, the group’s new record finds Ryan and Pattengale performing a stripped-down acoustic set without a backing band. On The Only Ones, the pair returns to the core of what they are about musically: the duo.<br><br>

With such insistent demand coming from her fans, the Christmas Album marked another special release in 2018 with a few new songs as well as some Christmas classics. Her single “Carol of the Bells” is still the only instrumental song to ever reach the Top 10 at AC Radio and peaked at #1 on Holiday Radio in 2020. In the wake of the cancellation of her 2020 Christmas tour due to COVID-19, Lindsey funded and directed a virtual livestream concert that received over 100,00 unique viewers.
