MICHIGAN PREMIERE. In 2015, Pulitzer Prize-nominated composer TOD MACHOVER began an ambitious project commissioned by the Knight Foundation: To bring more than 15,000 individual contributions of music and sound together with a performance by the DETROIT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA. “We’re going to show the world what Detroit sounds like,” he said. Two years later, not only does this lyrical piece turn a cacophony of voices, sounds, and images into a concise narrative, it manages to capture the personalities, locations, artists, and even machines of Detroit. Don’t miss this story behind Machover’s “Symphony in D,” a highly nusual—but totally captivating—modern day visual overture.
