Session 4 of the UMS Night School classes will a 30 minute discussion of the February concert of The Hagen Quartet. The 60-minute introduction portion of this event will center on the upcoming performance of The Andersen Project -- a tour-de-force about a Canadian writer from the rock-and-roll milieu who is unexpectedly commissioned to write a libretto for a children's opera.
Each session includes a presentation by a genre expert, an interactive exercise to draw you into the themes behind the performance, and a takeaway reading to enjoy on your own. Sessions are designed to engage you both with the UMS Pure Michigan Renegade series performances and with other audience members. These classes are hosted by Mark Clague, Associate Professor of Musicology and Director of Research at the U-M School of Music, Theatre & Dance.
