DSO Live! | March 24th

Music director conducting orchestra
Detroit Symphony Orchestra
Detroit Symphony Orchestra Music Director Jader Bignamini

Fri Mar. 24 at 10:40AM on 90.5 FM & STREAMING | Join The Detroit Symphony Orchestra, music director Jader Bignamini and pianist George Li at Orchestra Hall for a live broadcast.

The DSO live returns with music director Jader Bignamini back on the podium at Orchestra Hall in midtown Detroit welcoming pianist George Li to perform Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto, while the DSO also plays the 4th and final Symphony by Johannes Brahms, and music by the Black-British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, his deceptively titled “Ballade,” which has plenty of rollicking moments for all listeners.

The DSO Live is made possible thanks to WKAR’s partnership with WRCJ in Detroit.

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer? Please consider upgrading your current monthly gift.
