Classical music enthusiasts are in for a treat as the Life Sciences Orchestra (LSO) gears up for its Spring Concert at the renowned Hill Auditorium. The University of Michigan's LSO is set to captivate audiences with a selection of Romantic period masterpieces on Thursday, May 16, from 7pm to 9pm.

The evening promises to be a celebration of orchestral grandeur, featuring compositions by Sibelius, Gade, and Saint-Saens. Under the guidance of music director Nicholas Bromilow, the orchestra will explore the rich tapestry of Romantic music in a performance that is free to the public.

The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m., but attendees are encouraged to arrive early for a pre-concert lecture at 6:45 p.m., where Bromilow will delve into the evening's program. The repertoire includes the evocative "Echoes of Ossian" overture by Gade and Sibelius's "En Saga," a piece that embodies the Nordic spirit.

A highlight of the night will be the powerful "Organ Symphony" by Saint-Saens, which will showcase the majestic Frieze Memorial Organ played by acclaimed organist Naki Kripfgans. This performance is a unique opportunity to experience the synergy of organ and orchestra within the splendid acoustics of Hill Auditorium, located at 825 N University Ave, Ann Arbor, MI.

The LSO comprises talented individuals from the university's diverse medical and scientific community. While admission is free, the LSO welcomes donations to support its mission. Attendees are reminded to stay home if they are not feeling well, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
