Join us for a Decade-by-Decade Musical Time Machine
Thursday, February 26 | 6:00 PM
Farber Forum, Jewett Hall- Farber Forum | Free and open to all
What happens when you mix six decades of UMA history, a room full of powerhouse faculty musicians, vintage archive photos, jazzy energy, contemporary classical flair, and post-concert snacks?
You get a celebration that refuses to sit quietly in the background.
This special 60th Anniversary concert takes you on a musical journey from the 1960s to today, pairing live performances with a multimedia look at the moments that shaped the University along the way. Expect an energetic, feel-good program that blends story, sound, visuals, and a little bit of sonic adventure.
What you’ll experience:
- Live performances by UMA faculty and guest artists
- Music spanning the 60s through today
- Jazz, contemporary classical, and genre-blurring surprises
- Archival photos from UMA’s past, projected decade by decade
- A world premiere arrangement of “UMA Sunshine”, originally written for the University by former faculty member Willie Maiden
- Refreshments afterward in the Danforth Gallery
Performers include:
Lindsey Wiehl, Christine Letcher, Anita Jerosch (with guest Sebastian Jerosch), Duane Edwards, Jeffrey Rojo, Marcia Gallagher, and more.
Admission is free. Donations for student scholarships will be gratefully accepted.
Whether you’re a music lover, a history buff, an alum feeling nostalgic, or someone who simply enjoys being in a room where something new is happening for the first time, this is your night.
Come for the music. Stay for the snacks. Leave humming a tune from your favorite decade.
