University Philharmonia Orchestra

Conductor Jayce Ogren

Acclaimed operatic soprano and Michigan faculty member Amanda Majeski joins the University Philharmonia Orchestra for Strauss’s sublime farewell to life and the Romantic era, the Four Last Songs. The program also features Sean Shepherd’s meditation on renewal, Sprout, and Brahms’s hopeful but nostalgic Symphony #2.

With a string section comprising all freshmen, the Philharmonia Orchestra provides student musicians an immersive opportunity to improve their large ensemble skills and play some of the greatest works in the symphonic repertoire.
