Rick Steves' Europe: A Symphonic Journey

Friday, March 27, 2026
8:00 PM

About this event

Travel expert Rick Steves joins the Detroit Symphony Orchestra for a musical journey through Europe.

What to Expect

  • 1.You're getting a travelogue with a live orchestra—Rick Steves' narration will weave between movements and Europe-themed clips to guide the journey.
  • 2.Arrive early to grab your seat and settle in before the travel narrative; Orchestra Hall is a classic, formal venue, so give yourself time to find your section.
  • 3.Intermission is a good time to stretch and chat about the places shown without missing music; keep voices down during the performance.
  • 4.Concessions and beverage service are available, so plan to grab a drink or snack at intermission rather than during the performance.
  • 5.Downtown Detroit parking can fill up, so consider a nearby garage or rideshare and give yourself a little extra time to reach the hall.
