DETROIT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA The internationally acclaimed Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO), the fourth-oldest symphony orchestra in the United States, is known for trailblazing performances, visionary conductors and collaborations with the world’s foremost musical artists. The orchestra has earned awards and accolades for nearly 150 recordings since 1918. Past touring and residency destinations include Europe, the Lucerne Festival in Switzerland, Japan, the Hollywood Bowl, Florida, the Bravo! Colorado Festival and the State of Michigan. The DSO makes its home in historic Orchestra Hall, one of America’s most acoustically perfect concert halls. In 2003, the hall reopened as part of the Max M. Fisher Music Center, an eighty-million-dollar performing arts facility encompassing two recital halls and the Jacob Bernard Pincus Music Education Center. With an extensive music education program, the DSO trains over 700 young classical and jazz musicians weekly and serves as an educational partner to the adjacent Detroit School of Arts. In the 2008–09 season, conductor Leonard Slatkin became the twelfth Music Director of the DSO. Working in collaboration with Slatkin, Toronto Symphony Music Director Peter Oundjian serves as DSO Principal Guest Conductor.
