DATE: 7:45 p.m. June 20, 25 and 26, 2006.

EVENT: University of Michigan School of Music professor and choreographer Jessica Fogel has created a new work for six dancers to be performed in and around the fountain in U-M’s Ingalls Mall. The work will be set to carillon music by U-M professor Stephen Rush. The Baird Carillon in the Burton Tower will be played by Rich Gizack, long-time carilloneur and safety officer for the U-M Department of Chemistry.

The 15-minute dance celebrates a sense of summer play, a theme taken from the fountain sculpture by Carl Milles that depicts Triton on a holiday outing with his sons. Rush’s composition,” Sonata for Carillon,” premiered in Berlin in 2005 and consists of three movements, the last a variation on the Southern Harmony hymn” Holy Manna.”

PLACE: Ingalls Mall on U-M’s Central Campus.
