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.

Love, Me, Pride Media’s new editorial, video, and social media series, is our hand extended to those in the LGBTQ+ community struggling with severe treatment-resistant depression. We hope that by giving voice to folks like former professional basketball player DeMarco Majors and Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Mary Lambert, who fought their own battles with depression, we can give hope and help to those who might feel they have nowhere else to turn.
