Hill Auditorium
The Hill Auditorium is the largest performance venue on the University of Michigan’s campus. Its address is at 825 N University Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48109. The building was named after Arthur W.H. “Hill,” who served as a University of Michigan regent from 1901 to 1909. The auditorium features a large seating capacity and is ideal for all kinds of performances. During the summer, the entire campus hosts the Ann Arbor Shakespeare Festival. There are also plenty of events during the week, including operas, concerts, and special events.
The Hill Auditorium was dedicated on June 25, 1913. The ceremony included an hour-long parade with members of the community, the senior class, and a who’s who of society. The musical program included a singing competition and featured Messiah’s Hallelujah chorus, which was heard by the public for the first time. Today, it’s home to many concerts and other events. It’s a great place to see live music and enjoy a free concert.
The Hill Auditorium is home to a number of musical events. There are concerts and theatrical performances held regularly in this venue. It seats 3,538 people, compared to the 4,100 that it held before a 2004 renovation. The auditorium is one of the best places to catch a major production on campus. It is also home to the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia Orchestra, and University of Michigan Choir.
A popular venue for concerts, plays, and musicals, Hill Auditorium is also a great place to catch a concert. Its capacity of 3,538 makes it an ideal venue for large productions. It is also regularly used by the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonia Orchestra. Whether you’re a student or a professor, the Hill is sure to host a performance you won’t forget.
One of the most famous performances that took place in the auditorium is the ice show in 1950. The stage was made portable to accommodate the show. In 1956, a hypnotist demonstrated his skills on an audience member. In 2001, the Hill Museum of Art was undergoing a restoration project. Slow donations had led to the closure of the auditorium, which was reopened in 2009. It is open to the public and has a history of hosting many events.
The Hill Auditorium was the first concert hall in the U.S. to be renovated in 2001. The auditorium had previously been used as a theatre, but has since been remodeled several times. Its name now honors the ice concert’s iconic role in the history of Ann Arbor. The venue was also home to a hypnotist show in 1952. The audience was surprised when the hypnotist did the impossible.
