Save the date for the Arthur L. Johnson Urban Perspectives Lecture Series featuring Leonard Slatkin on Tuesday, March 24.

Slatkin, music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, is an internationally renowned American conductor who has made appearances with virtually every major international orchestra. His recordings have garnered seven Grammy awards and more than 60 nominations.

The Arthur L. Johnson Urban Perspectives Lecture Series began in 1992, and was named by the alumni association in 1995 to honor civil rights leader Dr. Arthur L. Johnson upon his retirement as vice president for university relations at Wayne State University. The series offers an opportunity to hear thoughtful and interesting commentaries on a wide range of subjects such as politics, business, economics, law and the arts.

The lecture begins at noon in Alumni House. It is free and open to the public.
