DSO Classical Roots

March 3 2017 | 5:30pm to March 4 2017 | 7:55pm

The DSO's annual Classical Roots Celebration increases awareness of the contributions that African-American composers and musicians have made to the classical music genre. Funds raised by the Classical Roots Celebration provide increased opportunities for African-Americans in classical music and support the DSO’s music development programs including the African-American Fellowship. This year, DSO Erb Creative Jazz Chair Terence Blanchard will premiere a specially commissioned work in commemoration of 1967, with content included from our Detroit 67 oral history project.
