Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Soul and Funk

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Soul and Funk at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

A groove you can feel, melodies that won't let go, and the full force of an orchestra behind it all. Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Soul and Funk comes to Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall on Saturday, June 19, 2027, at 8:00 PM, with a program built to make you move. Conductor Enrico Lopez-Yañez leads the DSO through chart-topping hits from artists including Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, James Brown, and Kool & the Gang, bringing timeless rhythm and melody into the concert hall.

Vocalists Ty Taylor and Maiya Sykes anchor the evening, giving those famous hooks and verses the live spotlight they deserve.

When a horn section swells behind a vocal line you know by heart, the orchestra gives funk and soul a new dimension. Enjoy the chance to let the music take over your Saturday night.

This is rhythm music with orchestral weight, soul melodies with strings beneath them, and funk that refuses to sit still. The DSO's arrangement and energy turn familiar songs into a live experience that recordings can only suggest. Give yourselves a night to indulge that taste with a full orchestra in front of you.
