Connecting Campus & Communities in Concert
The 2025 State of the Arts Tour will take the University of Michigan Symphony Band across the State of Michigan to engage local communities, connect with high school students and educators, and showcase the university’s world-class performing arts programs.
In 2024, the Arts Initiative proudly sponsored With Love, From Inside by The Dropped Keys Company, a performance that pushed the boundaries of immersive art. This year the U-M Symphony Band Tour continues the tradition of excellence, as we work to expand the reach of our programs through partnerships, outreach, and engagement. This tour will serve as a bridge between U-M and the broader state, promoting the university’s commitment to excellence in the arts and strengthening its relationships with potential future students.

The historic U-M Symphony Band is a leading ensemble in the American wind band movement. With performances in prestigious venues such as New York’s Carnegie Hall, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Beijing’s National Center for the Performing Arts, and Milan’s La Scala, the U-M Symphony Band is widely known for the professional quality of its performances and recordings. Giving up to ten regular performances each year, the Symphony Band often collaborates with world-class artists and plays an ambitious role in commissioning new works for winds. The Symphony Band splits into chamber ensembles for concerts each term and can form both a wind ensemble and a full symphonic band equipped to perform any repertoire written for the wind medium.
