The performance is scheduled to take place at Hill Auditorium on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. Completed in 1913, Hill Auditorium is a prominent performance venue renowned for its exceptional acoustics and architectural grandeur. Designed by Albert Kahn, it was initially conceived as a multi-purpose space for student gatherings and commencement ceremonies but quickly became a central location for musical performances.

The auditorium’s design incorporates elements inspired by ancient Greek amphitheaters and features a distinctive barrel-vaulted ceiling constructed with Guastavino tile. Throughout its history, Hill Auditorium has hosted a wide range of internationally acclaimed artists and ensembles across various disciplines, establishing itself as a significant cultural landmark within the region and beyond. It continues to serve as a primary venue for the University Musical Society’s presentations.
