Florida Tour 2024
In February 2024, the DSO will embark on its first tour with Music Director Jader Bignamini, performing throughout the state of Florida with cellist Alisa Weilerstein. Tour repertoire will include Michael Abels’s Emerge, Elgar’s Cello Concerto (with Weilerstein), Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6, “Pathétique.”
“We craft each season with thoughtful consideration to the creative ways we can merge the power and depth of music with the spirit of exploration that elevates great performance art,” says DSO President and CEO Erik Rönmark. “Our musicians create lasting impressions that audiences feel in their hearts as they experience the remarkable. There is nothing else quite like this in Detroit, and that’s true whether you are joining us at Orchestra Hall, in the community, or on tour in Florida.”
