SUMMARY:NMU Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:The Northern Michigan University Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble\, directed by Steven Riley\, will perform a free concert at 7:30 p.m. Monday\, Feb. 23\, in Reynolds Recital Hall. NMU assistant professor Theresa Camilli will provide piano accompaniment. \nThe concert’s theme is “Musical Perspectives and Monumental Moments: A Musical Tribute to the 250th Anniversary of The United States.” Riley said it will explore the 250-year history of our nation through various perspectives and cultures\, recognizing that the most enduring monuments are not made of stone\, but of the songs and spirits of the many cultures of people who are stewards of the land. \nThe concert will be presented in two parts with the Symphonic Band opening with two pieces featuring British folk songs: “Three Ayres from Gloucester” by Hugh M. Stuart and “Polly Oliver” by Thomas Root. These pieces highlight the influence of British folk music during the birth of the United States. Other pieces include “Amparito Roca\,” written by Spanish bandleader Jaime Texidor\, and “Rushmore” by Alfred Reed\, which showcase a broad array of cultures that influenced music in the United States. \nThe second part of the concert will open with “Children’s March” by Percy Grainger. Riley describes this piece as a monument in American band literature; one that represents the whimsical\, charming and imaginative idealism of childhood\, reflecting the United States’ young age compared to most other countries. The concert will then conclude with the piece “Of Our New Day Begun” by Omar Thomas\, which reflects on themes of violence\, justice and remembrance within the nation’s history. \nFor more information about the NMU Music Department\, visit nmu.edu/music.

SUMMARY:NMU Presents 'A Streetcar Named Desire'
DESCRIPTION:Northern Michigan University Theatre and Dance will present “A Streetcar Named Desire\,” the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Tennessee Williams\, Thursday-Saturday\, Feb. 19-21 and 26-28\, in the Panowski Black Box Theatre. The show will be directed by assistant professor Kaitlyn Frotton. \nFirst performed in 1947\, “A Streetcar Named Desire” is about the fragile Southern belle Blanche DuBois. She moves in with her sister Stella and brutish brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski in New Orleans\, leading to a tragic clash of illusion and reality\, desire and class. The play explores persisting themes of mental instability\, desire versus destruction\, racism and oppression\, misogyny and sexual assault. \n“I feel there is no reason to revisit a ‘classic’ unless the theme holds relevance in modern society\,” Frotton explained. “Domestic violence\, misogyny and racism are still very much alive in 2026\, so very little needs to be altered for contemporary ears and eyes to connect to it. A work of art can only maintain the label ‘classic’ if its themes are universal\, and in this case\, they unfortunately are.” \nFrotton said the audience’s close proximity to the stage in the Panowski Black Box Theatre\, as opposed to a larger venue\, will be an advantage for this production.  \n“The benefits of performing in a black box theatre is that you can often get up close and personal with the performers and other patrons; no one has anywhere to really ‘hide.’ This can feel intense\, but also reminds us that theatre is not theatre without an energetic exchange from actor to audience\, audience to actor\, actor to actor\, and patron to patron.” \nShowtimes are 7:30 p.m. each night of the run\, with a sensory-friendly Theatre for All matinee at 1 p.m. Feb. 21\, and a regular 1 p.m. matinee Feb. 28.  \n“The actors and student designers have put so much work and effort into this show. I’m unbelievably proud of their bravery and respect for each other\,” Frotton added. “They are collaborative\, respectful of one another and extremely talented\, so that makes directing this challenging piece really exciting.” \nThis performance is for mature audiences only. Tickets for the nightly showings and the Feb. 28 matinee are $25 for the general public; $22 for NMU staff\, seniors and military; $15 for youth; and $5 for NMU students. Admission to the Theatre For All matinee showings is “pay as you may.” Tickets for this event can be purchased at tickets.nmu.edu.
