ANN ARBOR, MI The University Musical Society is back for its 143rd season with live and virtual performances.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the group was unable to host live performances last year, opting for virtual performances instead, officials said.
But live performances are making a comeback from November through next April, a slightly smaller timeframe than previous years due to the ongoing pandemic, officials said.

The 2021-22 UMS season will include a variety of in-person performances, as well as digital content, according to its president, Matthew VanBesien. The season will include a number of new “commissioned” performances, and the UMS president says the live performances will begin later than they usually do in a typical season.
The first in-person event will be the Big Band Holidays with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra on Sunday, November 28 in Hill Auditorium. VanBesien says they are taking many precautions to make sure people attending in person events are protected and comfortable.
