Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Sailing - Soft Rock Hits at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Sailing – Soft Rock Hits arrives at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall on Friday, May 21, 2027, at 10:45 AM, offering a mid-morning musical voyage through the breezy, laid-back yacht-rock catalog that shaped the 1970s and 1980s. This is music built on smooth melody, tasteful restraint and the feeling of California sunshine translated into sound.

The program brings hits from Hall & Oates, Christopher Cross, Fleetwood Mac, George Michael, Kenny Loggins and more into orchestral arrangement, giving familiar tunes fresh instrumental texture. Morgan James delivers vocals alongside Doug Wamble, who adds guitar and voice, while John Scarpulla's saxophone colors the sound. Jason Seber conducts the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, steering the ensemble through a nostalgic catalog that balances polish with genuine feeling. Live, the interplay between voice, strings, brass and rhythm section gives these soft-rock classics a new dimension.

A 10:45 AM start transforms this Detroit outing into a distinctive mid-morning cultural experience. Trade your usual Friday routine for a seat inside Orchestra Hall, where the music takes center stage and the calendar invites a relaxed approach. The yacht-rock revival continues to draw attention across generations; catching it with a full symphony adds weight and warmth to songs you already know.
