Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Thomas Wilkins - Classical Roots
About this event
The DSO's annual Classical Roots celebration honors African American contributions to classical music.
What to Expect
- 1.Plan to arrive early to find parking and go through security; Orchestra Hall can get busy before a big classical program.
- 2.Read or download the program to know which African American composers are highlighted and listen for how Wilkins shapes the pieces.
- 3.Center-orchestra seating usually gives the best view and acoustics; if you’re in the balcony, aim for a mid-row sightline.
- 4.Dress smart casual; the vibe is formal but you’ll still be comfortable.
- 5.Intermission details: plan for 15-20 minutes; grab a drink or a snack in the lobby; restrooms are nearby.
