2012 DSO Morning Concert

A small group or Retiree Association members and guests enjoyed the Detroit Symphony Orchestra concert, entitled "Ravishing Rachmaninoff" at the Max M Fisher Music Center on Woodward Avenue in Detroit.  The morning began with complimentary coffee and donuts before the concert, served both on the main entrance floor and on the third-floor mezzanine, near where the seats were located.  The seating location offered a great view of the beautiful architecture and the entire orchestra plus splendid acoustics.  Included in the concert were Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Symphonic Dances, OP 45"; Dmitri Shostakivich's "Violin Concerto No, 1 in A minor, Op 99; and Cindy McTee's "Einstein's Dream." Afterwards, some attendees enjoyed lunch at the close-by popular restaurant, Traffic Jam.
