Detroit Symphony Orchestra: The Power of Sound

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: The Power of Sound at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

Live music changes the way time moves. A phrase can suspend you in radiant stillness. A concerto can pull you through drama and release. A rhythmic pulse can send energy rippling through the hall. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra presents The Power of Sound at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall on Friday, May 28, 2027, at 10:45 AM, with a morning program designed around that very effect.

Conductor Tabita Berglund leads the orchestra through three works that play with musical time in distinct ways. Wagner's Prelude to Act I of Lohengrin captures luminous stillness, a slow unfolding that invites you to settle into pure sound. Paul Lewis takes the piano for Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, bringing his trademark clarity and patience to the composer's drama. John Adams closes the program with Harmonielehre, an epic piece inspired by Wagner's expressiveness and driven by pulsing, ecstatic motion. Each work offers a different encounter with the orchestra's range.

This is a morning to bring someone who loves orchestral music with genuine appetite. The combination of Wagner, Beethoven, and Adams gives you radiant beauty, classical architecture, and contemporary energy in one sitting.
