For 124 years, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra has euphonically transported ears to heights of musical bliss with world-class interpretations of beloved orchestral works. On November 4, conductor Joana Carneiro will direct renowned guitarist Xuefei Yang in the ethereal Concierto de Aranjuez by Rodrigo before leading the symphony through the soaring tunes and fugitive eighth notes of Tchaikovsky's Symphony no. 5. Venerable baton wielder Leonard Slatkin guides the orchestra through the complex structures of Schubert's "Unfinished" Symphony no. 8 on November 25 and 27 before the players’ rendition of Rachmaninoff's Symphony no. 3 hugs eardrums like a Q-tip with separation anxiety. Composer and DJ Mason Bates scratchily kicks off the evening, joining the orchestra to mix turntable magic with classical verve.
Orchestra Hall ensconces symphony-goers in early-20th-century elegance. Opulently decorated walls and exquisite acoustics satiate optic and aural appetites alike, and a historically accurate marquee displays top-billed performers and reminds passersby that their ovens might be on.
