Festival season is back, even if it looks a little different.
After spending last year’s Memorial Day Weekend a time usually filled with friends, fun and music festivals instead alone at home while wiping down your groceries and doom-scrolling on social media, this year live events are slowly popping back up, like flowers after a long frost. Though we’ll have to wait just a while longer to congregate
en masse at the Polo Fields for Coachella or in the desert for EDC Las Vegas, this weekend in particular demonstrates that festival season is coming back, even if it looks a little different due to various COVID-related policies.

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.
