A wide variety of concerts
will take place at the Univer-
sity of Michigan during the
month of March, under the
auspices of the University
Musical Society: two sym-
phony orchestras, three
chamber groups (vocal, in-
strumental, percussion), and
two dance ensembles.
The Hilliard Ensemble will
appear 8 p.m. Mar. 5 at
Rackham Auditorium. This
ensemble of four male
vocalists was formed in 1974.
Though they specialize in
music written before 1600,
their repertoire extends into
the 20th century. Their pro-
gram for Ann Arbor, entitled
"Sound Patterns," ranges
from anonymous 14th-cen-
tury pieces to contemporary
pieces by composers Arvo Part
and John Cage.
The Houston Symphony
with Christoph Eschenbach,
conductor and pianist, will
perform 8 p.m. Mar. 7, at Hill
Auditorium. The Houston
Symphony will perform
Dvorak's Carnival Overture;
Mozart's Piano Concerto No.
23 in A major; and the
Brahms Symphony No. 1.
Nexus is scheduled for 8
p.m. Mar. 8 at Hill Auditori-
um. Formed in 1971 by Cana-
dian musicians who still com-
prise the group, Nexus re-
mains a top percussion
ensemble. Much of the music
they perform is composed and
arranged by the members
themselves. In addition to a
wide assortment of drums,
their instruments include
marimbas, vibraphones, rat-
tles, whistles, an iron bell,
and a Zimbabwean thumb
piano.
An die Musik will appear 8
p.m. Mar. 14 at Rackham
Auditorium. Drawing its
name from Schubert's song in
praise of music, An die
Musik's combination of oboe,
string trio, and piano allows
the programming of music
not often heard in chamber
performances. For their Ann
Arbor debut, they'll perform
the Aesop Suite by the con-
temporary Polish composer
Jerzy Sapieyevski;
Beethoven's Trio for Oboe,
Violin, and Viola; Mozart's
Quartet for Oboe and Strings;
Haydn's Trio for Oboe, Violin,
and Cello; and Mozart's
Quartet for Piano and Strings.
The Pirin — Bulgarian Na-
tional Folk Ensemble will be
hosted 8 p.m. Mar. 16 at Hill
Auditorium. Bulgaria has
selected Pirin as its cultural
ambassador to the world, and
this troupe now makes its
third visit to Ann Arbor. Ar-
tistic director Kiril Stefanov
leads this company of 75 —
dancers, an orchestra, and the
Stefanov Women's Chorus —
in a showcase of choreography
and singing, all representing
one of the most ancient
cultures in Europe.
The Israel Philharmonic
Orchestra, Zubin Mehta, con-
ductor, will be featured 8 p.m.
Mar. 21 at Hill Auditorium.
Founded in 1936 (as the
Palestine Symphony), the
Israel Philharmonic has per-
formed under the direction of
some of the world's greatest
conductors. Zubin Mehta
began his association with
the orchestra in 1962 as a
guest conductor, and in 1981
was elected "Music Director
for Life!' He and the Israel
Philharmonic now return to
Ann Arbor for their fourth
concert, performing a single
work — the Ninth Symphony
of Gustav Mahler.
The American Indian
Dance Theatre will close the
series 8 p.m. Mar. 25 at Power
Center. The company in-
cludes more than twenty
native American dancers and
musicians, representing
numerous tribes from many
parts of the United States and
Canada. The dancers perform
to live music, including flute
solos, solo singing, and the
haunting Zuni call to sunrise.
