This past week the DTE Energy Foundation sponsored the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in your community concert series. The DSO played 4 free concerts in St. Clair Shores, Detroit, Taylor, and Clawson.
My family chose to go see the concert in Clawson at the high school and were very impressed. The show was spectacular, the crowd was great, and the venue is awesome.
The DSO started out with the Star Spangled Banner and finished up with Stars and Stripes Forever. In between those patriotic songs they played pieces from Aaron Copeland, Duke Ellington, and music from Star Wars and Indiana Jones. The conductor was great by giving background on some pieces and even interjecting some humor.
If you ever get the chance to see the DSO whether it be in Detroit, Greenfield Village, or any other number of events they participate in, I highly suggest going to see them.
The only complaints I had were not enough handicapped seating for some of the elderly and no signage outside directing people where to go. Otherwise this was a great event and I hope that they continue this series of concerts in the future.
