On Friday, September 26 at 7 p.m. we’ll have a special live broadcast on 90.9 FM WRCJ of the University Musical Society’s 2025/26 season opener. Hear Verdi’s choral masterpiece “Requiem,” a monumental work that fuses the drama of opera with the spiritual depth of sacred music.
This incredible performance will include the Detroit Symphony Orchestra led by DSO Music Director Jader Bignamini along with the UMS Choral Union. The concert will take place at Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor with a one-time-only live broadcast on 90.9 WRCJ.
