Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Winter Magic

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Winter Magic at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

A new year asks for new energy, and Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Winter Magic offers exactly that. Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall hosts this celebration on Saturday, January 9, 2027, at 11:00 AM, with conductor Ingrid Martin leading elegant waltzes and festive music from around the world. The orchestra describes the outing as music that dances, glows, and delights—a family-friendly invitation to welcome fresh beginnings with the season's beauty in mind.

Waltzes carry a particular lift, a three-beat pulse that makes melody feel like motion. Festive music from different traditions gives the program breadth, taking your ear from one celebratory sound to another. The orchestra brings its instrumental range to the celebration: strings together, winds in conversation, brass adding brightness, and the whole ensemble moving through music chosen for its joy and sparkle. Bring someone who wants to start the year with live performance, and a shared occasion to anticipate.

Martin leads this family-friendly program, giving the seasonal celebration an orchestral focus. A matinee time opens the concert to families and anyone whose Saturday morning can hold room for music. American Sign Language interpretation is offered at this performance; contact the Box Office at 313.576.5111 to be seated in the sign-interpreted section.
