Welcome Dear Friends, You’ll notice the program book looks quite a bit different than it did when you attended a DSO concert at Orchestra Hall last spring. We like to think of this small change as a symbol of our thirst for constant improvement as an organization. Each season, it is our hope that we return to you a better resource for the community, a more accessible source of entertainment and an ever more artistically excellent ensemble. We think you’ll be satisfied in all respects with what lies ahead.

Our web presence has received a makeover as well, with a brand new dso.org that offers a sleek design, intuitive navigation and new sign-in capabilities that recognize you as a special member of the DSO family. We’ve been getting rave reviews so take a moment to visit the site when you can.

We know you’ll find this year to be a special one for many reasons. As we begin our seventh season under Leonard Slatkin’s artistic leadership, we hope you have also been following his 70th birthday celebration. We began this summer at Tanglewood where Leonard and the Boston Symphony Orchestra performed the premiere of Michigan-based composer Bill Bolcom’s Circus Overture, written in honor of this occasion and also performed as part of our opening weekend program. Several of us made the trip in September to France to join in their festivities with Leonard’s orchestra in Lyon, where culture and cuisine happily supplemented our musical adventure. On October 29, we invite you to join the celebration by attending a special release party at New York’s newest classical music club SubCulture. Wherever you are, please consider downloading a Naxos special compilation album created in Leonard’s honor (you can read more on page 14.)

Leonard’s regular gifts to us are his thoughtful and creative programming.

This year, his Concerto in America series calls attention to those works either written by an American composer or that received their premieres in the US. This February’s Tchaikovsky Festival features the emotional and inspiring works of that Russian master, including the opportunity to experience all six symphonies in one month. And if you haven’t visited our Mix @ the Max series, you are in for a treat! Each month, fresh music and eclectic artists are presented in a casual setting, filling audiences with surprise and delight. Don’t miss the next one!

So, welcome to the new season. Whether in Orchestra Hall, in a Neighborhood venue or online, we look forward to sharing these inspiring and engaging experiences with you. Thank you for joining us.

The DSO’s music director was

born for the podium

S

ome bright young musicians know early on that they want to be a conductor. Leonard Slatkin, who turned 70 on September 1, had a more specific vision. He believed himself born to be a music director.

“First off, it was pretty clear that I would go into conducting once I had the opportunity to actually lead an orchestra,” says Slatkin, music director of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra since 2008 and occupant of the same post with the Orchestre National de Lyon since 2011. “The study process suited my own ethic and, at least for me, I felt relatively comfortable with the technical part of the job.

“But perhaps more importantly, I knew that I would also be a music director. Mind you, this is a very different job from just getting on the podium and waving your arms. The decision making process and the ability to shape a single ensemble into a cohesive whole, including administration, somehow felt natural to me.”

Slatkin arrived at the DSO with two major directorships already under his belt — the Saint Louis Symphony (1979-96) and the National Symphony in Washington, D.C. (1996-2008) — and an earful of caution about the economically distressed city and the hard-pressed orchestra to which he was being lured. But it was a challenge that excited him.

“Almost everyone warned me about the impending demise of the orchestra,” the conductor says. “A lot of people said that I should not take it. Perhaps that is what gave me the desire to go there and try to help.”

If Slatkin did not expect a breeze

when he accepted the DSO directorship, neither was he exactly belted in for the unforeseeable turbulence ahead. He recalls his bouncing start with the bemusement of a survivor.

“Although this marks the beginning of my seventh season, in reality it is my fourth,” he says. “The first year I could only conduct five weeks, as my guest schedule was already full. The second year I had a heart attack. And the third? Well, there was no third due to the work stoppage.

“With all that everyone had to endure, each of us — management, board and musicians — had ideas waiting to be implemented when the musicians returned to the stage. The results of those ideas turned into initiatives that have helped place this 16

orchestra as a leader in the field. We take chances. As a result, audience size has increased, donations are at record levels and we are heard and seen all over the world.”

The visible – perhaps the better word is virtual — emblem that both honors Slatkin’s 70th birthday and epitomizes his evolving legacy with the DSO is a recorded compilation of works mainly by American composers. Names like William Bolcom, John Williams, Aaron Copland, Charles Ives, Leroy Anderson and Cindy McTee (the conductor’s wife) are representative of Slatkin’s lifelong commitment to the music of American masters.

“I grew up hearing the music from this country and it never left my being,” he says. “There are not many dso.org

of us left who knew so many of the great composers personally and it remains important for me to keep the heritage alive. I think of almost every living composer whose music I conduct as an offspring of the earlier generations, whether they intend their music to be interpreted that way or not.”

But the very fact that this “digital” program is literally that, not a CD but available only as an internet download, bespeaks the forward thinking of both Slatkin and DSO management about getting its sound and its brand out to the high-tech world. Slatkin sees online-only digital projects like the DSO’s Beethoven digital box set as well as the orchestra’s cutting-edge Live From Orchestra Hall webcasts as dso.org

responses to a global oppportunity.

“The recording market is diminishing, so we had to find a new way to reach the world-wide public,” he says. “We remain the only orchestra to offer all subscription concerts streamed for free on the Internet.”

Meanwhile, on the home front, Slatkin cites a radically different, solidly real-world approach to cultivating an audience: the DSO’s William Davidson Neighborhood Concert Series, which takes the orchestra away from its home at Orchestra Hall and into the backyards of music lovers throughout Metro Detroit.

giving regional patrons a reason to skip the trek downtown to hear the orchestra in its own setting — an acoustically splendid gem designed by the noted architect C. Howard Crane and built in 1919 at the insistence of music director Ossip Gabrilowitsch. But Slatkin says the series has nourished orchestra and audiences alike.

“We have not lost patrons but have added 3,500 because of these concerts,” he says. “This is the audience that used to come to the symphony and stopped many years ago. Since virtually all the venues are smaller than Orchestra Hall, people will have to come downtown to hear the choral works, big-name soloists and much of the larger repertoire. In 18

the meantime, getting the orchestra out to the areas where the musicians live makes for some very nice partnerships.”

Indeed, Slatkin still thrives on the many challenges of keeping an orchestra not only afloat but purposeful.

“With so much talk about older audiences, diminishing arts education in the schools, and economic woes of all manner of arts institutions, it seemed like most of us were simply not adapting to the changing times,” he says.

“What we changed at the DSO was the old style of just letting things take care of themselves. By completely altering pricing structures, we have seen the audience grow. It has become dso.org

younger and more diverse without having to compromise anything musically. And instead of relying on schools to do the teaching, we take it on.” The orchestra’s educational programs serve some 10,000 children in both classical and jazz ensembles, and through educational concerts.

Meet the Musician RALPH SKIANO

Principal Clarinet, Robert B. Semple Chair

I

f Ralph Skiano hadn’t paid attention in elementary school, he might not be here as the DSO’s new Principal Clarinet this season.

With no previous exposure to music, Skiano was introduced to the viola in his elementary school music program where he grew up in Alexandria, Va. as the oldest of three boys. A year later he switched to clarinet and found not only greatly inspirational teachers, but also a deep connection to classical music.

This unexpected exposure to music is what drives Skiano today. In 2011 he founded the Atlantic Chamber Ensemble in Richmond, Va. with the mission of finding new ways for people to connect to classical music.

“Because of the way I found music, I have a greater appreciation for how the average person’s experience can be with it,” Skiano said. “At a young age, I stumbled into this really powerful thing, this ability to experience music on such a deep level. My friends, family and neighbors didn’t know music that way. As I go, I continue to see how powerful it can become, how important it is to help others connect with it.”

Atlantic Chamber Ensemble did just that when it hosted a dinner party where music made up the menu. Guests were provided with a menu listing the types of pieces and were able to choose what music they wanted to hear for each course.

“Presenting music to people in a format they are more familiar with, such as the experience of eating a nice meal, gave 20

DSO PERFORMANCE MAGA ZINE • FALL 2014

them control over the music they were consuming,” Skiano said. “It allowed them to really understand what we were doing and really connect to the music.”

In its first year, the ensemble was awarded an ASCAP award for adventurous programming, and it has been hugely successful in building new audiences.

Outside of making music, Skiano discovered an interest in historic homes and buildings while residing in the historical town of Richmond, where he restored a home downtown when he wasn’t performing with the Richmond Symphony. Detroit’s history and development interests Skiano in the same way.

“I’m excited to see the city coming back to life and I’d love to be a part of that,” he said.

When he’s not practicing clarinet, sharing music or working on historic homes, Skiano winds down by fishing. He took time this summer to explore Michigan’s waters, from the south east through the Upper Peninsula.

Coming from his work for the Richmond Symphony and the Des Moines Metro Opera, Skiano is thrilled to take his next step into the position of his highly respected predecessor at the DSO, Ted Oien, who Skiano has always viewed as a legend.

“Even when I was auditioning, the orchestra was extremely nice and supportive, and performing with the DSO musically feels like a really good fit for me,” he said. “I felt at home already even during my audition.” dso.org

PROGRAM NOTES “The Star-Spangled Banner” (1814) JOHN STAFFORD SMITH (MUSIC) b. 30 March 1750, Gloucester, Great Britain d. 21 September 1836, London, United Kingdom

FRANCIS SCOTT KEY (LYRIC) b. 1 August 1779, Carroll County, Maryland d. 11 January 1843, Baltimore, Maryland WORK COMPOSED AND PREMIERED: FRANCIS SCOTT KEY’S LYRIC WAS INSPIRED BY THE SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE OF BALTIMORE FROM BRITISH ATTACK ON 13–14 SEPTEMBER 1814 DURING THE WAR OF 1812. KEY DRAFTED THE POEM ABOARD HIS OWN AMERICAN TRUCE SHIP ON WHICH HE WAS DETAINED DURING AND FOLLOWING THE BATTLE. HE FINALIZED THE POEM ON HIS RETURN TO BALTIMORE ON 16 SEPTEMBER AND HAD THE POEM PRINTED AS A BROADSIDE AND DISTRIBUTED TO THE TROOPS WHO HAD DEFENDED FORT MCHENRY THE FOLLOWING DAY. ITS FIRST RENDITION LIKELY TOOK PLACE IMMEDIATELY. THE SONG’S FIRST DOCUMENTED PERFORMANCE WAS ON 19 OCTOBER 1814 AT THE BALTIMORE THEATRE SUNG BY AN ACTOR IDENTIFIED ONLY AS MR. HARDINGE.

A

1931 act of Congress endorsed by the signature of then President Herbert Hoover made “The StarSpangled Banner” the official national anthem of the United States of America. Yet 117 years earlier when lawyer and amateur poet Francis Scott Key penned the lyric, he wrote just a patriotic song celebrating a heroic (and unexpected) triumph. The U.S. army reinforced by the citizen militia of Baltimore withstood a 25-hour sea bombardment and ground attack to preserve not only the city, but the nation in this pivotal battle of the War of 1812, often referred to as the United States’ Second War of Independence.

Key, who as an officer in Georgetown’s militia had three weeks earlier witnessed firsthand the efficiency of British forces when they marched dso.org

almost unopposed into Washington, D.C. and burned government buildings to the ground, expected no less at Baltimore. Thus, for Key, the defeat of superior British forces was just cause for a song in honor of the battle’s American heroes.

For his victory lyric Key chose an upbeat, spirited melody. While others later claimed to unite text and tune, it was rather Key himself who wrote the words from the outset to fit the rhythm, form, and melody of “The Anacreontic Song”—a London amateur musicians club anthem and a tune already well known in the United States as a vehicle for such broadside balladry. Composer John Stafford Smith, a church organist and musician in London’s Chapel Royal and Westminster Abbey as well as an award-winning author of popular part songs, wrote the tune in 1775 or 1776. Created to be performed by a trained vocal soloist as part of the club’s meeting, the melody was never intended for mass singing. Key knew it well. He had used the tune before, when in 1805 he wrote the song “When the Warrior Returns” to honor Tripolitan War naval hero Stephen Decatur, Jr. In Key’s day, both of his Anacreontic Song lyrics would have been sung by a soloist with a choral repetition of the final pair of lines (e.g., beginning “O say does that… ”) and were performed at an upbeat tempo.

Originally titled “Defence of Fort McHenry,” Key’s lyric repeatedly invoked the phrase “Star Spangled Banner,” connecting song to flag and suggesting the new title that soon transformed a topical battle lyric into a national ode. Propelled by growing patriotic fervor after the War of 1812, Key’s song not only accompanied the flag at Fourth of July celebrations DSO PERFORMANCE MAGA ZINE • FALL 2014 29

but followed it into battle. Sanctified by the sacrifice of U.S. soldiers in the Mexican-American War, U.S. Civil War, and Spanish-American War, “The StarSpangled Banner” was proclaimed

by Army and Navy regulations to be the nation’s anthem at the onset of U.S. entry into World War I. Federal legislation in 1931 did not so much make Key’s song into the nation’s anthem, rather it simply gave official recognition to what the nation’s citizens had long decided through ritual and celebration.

Toscanini’s Banner arrangement uses by then traditional harmonies.

The Italian conductor’s original expressive contributions are thus located elsewhere—in the grandeur of the especially slow tempo and rich orchestration, including the added bass voices of English horn, bass clarinet, and contrabassoon.

SO Music Director Leonard Slatkin celebrated his 70th birthday on September 1, and to honor that occasion in advance the Boston Symphony Orchestra commissioned William Bolcom’s Circus Overture which began the birthday concert the orchestra gave on August 8th under Slatkin’s direction at the Tanglewood Music Festival in Lenox, Massachusetts. When the BSO asked Slatkin whom he would like the orchestra to commission for the concert opener celebrating his 70th birthday, his choice was William Bolcom. Their paths have crossed and re-crossed many times in the 50-plus years since their first collaboration; in the ensuing years both have earned towering reputations in American classical music, and Slatkin has done as much as any contemporary conductor to further the cause of American concert music. Since his debut with the BSO in 1980, virtually every one of his programs with the orchestra has included a work by an American composer. About Bolcom, Slatkin has written, “Bill and I go back to student days in Aspen around 1962. I was a fledgling kid and Bill was clearly a composer to watch. In that year I did the first of what would be several works by this most important of American composers. It is only fitting, in my final summer of guest conducting, that I once again return to play a premiere by my good friend.”

Slatkin had two requests about the new work: “The only thing I’m asking is, one, keep it short and two, do not put ‘Happy Birthday’ in it.”

William Elden Bolcom was born in Seattle, Wash., and showing remarkable precocity as a child, entered the University of Washington when he was just 11, studying dso.org

composition and piano. He later studied with the distinguished French composer Darius Milhaud at Mills College, with Leland Smith at Stanford University, and with the 20th-century master Olivier Messiaen at the Paris Conservatory, where he was awarded the Second Composition Prize.

Bolcom’s early compositions employed the somewhat severe 12-tone, or serial technique, but in the 1960s he began to reach out and use a wider variety of musical styles. His main goal as a composer has been to erase the boundaries between popular and classical music. In 1973 he joined the faculty of the University of Michigan’s School of Music, was named the Ross Lee Finney Distinguished University Professor of Composition in 1994, and retired from the University in 2008 after some 35 years on the faculty. Bolcom’s many compositions include nine symphonies, eleven string quartets, four violin sonatas, three operas (McTeague, A View From the Bridge and A Wedding, all commissioned by the Lyric Opera of Chicago), three musical theater works (Casino Paradise, Dynamite Tonite and Greatshot), incidental music for stage plays (including Arthur Miller’s Broken Glass), two film scores (Hester Street and Illuminata), several unusual concertos, and a large catalogue of chamber and vocal works. Among his numerous awards and prizes are The Pulitzer Prize for Music, investiture in the American Academy of Arts and Letters, four Grammys in 2006 for his Songs of Innocence and Experience (Best Classical Album, Best Choral Performance, Best Classical Contemporary Composition and Best Producer of the Year-Classical), among others.

About Slatkin, Bolcom has said, dso.org

“Leonard and I go back 50 years this summer. In 1964 while both students at Aspen, he premiered my brand-new Concerto- Serenade for string orchestra. Thus began a lengthy collaborative history. Leonard has commissioned several works from me over the years including two symphonies, and his landmark recording of my Songs of Innocence and Experience garnered much attention ten years ago. It takes some courage in the classical world to admit fondness for Leroy Anderson’s perfect musical pastries, and then record a bunch of them as Slatkin has done. When the Boston Symphony Orchestra requested a 70th-birthday celebratory piece for the Maestro, I asked Leonard what he wanted, and he suggested something like ‘a six-minute fun and lively curtain raiser for concerts.’ I immediately thought of Anderson’s classic examples, and that is exactly what I set out to do in Circus Overture — a traditional concert overture meant just for fun. (As a boy I loved the circus, mostly for its music.

My favorite moment was usually when, as the trapeze artist landed, the band would hit a loud B-flat chord no matter what they were playing.

Sadly, I could not find a spot to do that trick in the Overture.) The listener is free to imagine a circus act here and there in it, but Circus Overture is not necessarily programmatic unless one wants it to be. I haven’t any program in mind except for one place for a few seconds toward the middle, a sort of sad-clown moment: I couldn’t resist a rueful musical glance at the fact that Leonard and I are both very definitely senior people now. But we’re not old yet.” Bolcom wrote this characterful, high-energy piece in 2013, completing it in September of that year.

R

on Nelson’s Sarabande: For Katharine in April was awarded the 1994 Edward B. Benjamin Award for Restful Music. The first performance took place on June 6, 1994 over an NBC broadcast conducted by Howard Hanson, one of Nelson’s teachers. Dr. Hanson later recorded the work along with eight other award-winning compositions.

Nelson states that the work is not programmatic in nature but credits critic, James M. Fitzwilliam who, in a 2005 review of the Mercury recording, wrote the following: “Most people can remember, with joy, and longing, and perhaps regret for what might have been, the first time they were ever in love. This is that feeling, expressed in music.”

Educated at the Eastman School of Music and in Europe, Nelson joined the faculty of Brown University in 1956 and taught there until his retirement in 1993. He resides with his wife, Michele, in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The first movement is in a standard sonata form, opening with a transparent, longspun solo violin theme that various commentators have likened (perhaps inappropriately) to a theme by Mozart.

When this has run its course, the clarinet takes up a puckish second theme, then the violin returns with a rhythmically active theme, marked by numerous bounding-bow passages.

The first two themes are rigorously developed before the first theme returns in a major orchestral climax, signaling the recapitulation.

A smoothly rising oboe melody at the beginning of the slow movement imparts an oriental flavor to the music.

As this gradually fades away, it is joined by a horn theme that again becomes important at the end of the movement. In the meantime, the solo violin dominates the freely designed central section of the movement in what amounts to the closest thing to a cadenza heard anywhere in the concerto. The solo violin then takes up the oboe theme and the horn theme, bringing the movement to a close.

The perpetual-motion finale is not only a tour de force for the solo violin, but for the orchestra as well. It is a fleet, light-footed movement cast in a rondo form and while much of its dazzling character is meant to show off the solo violin, the challenges to orchestra members are equally formidable.

Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 (1862–1876) JOHANNES BRAHMS B. 7 May 1833 in Hamburg, Germany D. 3 April 1897 in Vienna, Austria FIRST PERFORMED ON 4 NOV. 1878 IN KARLSRUHE, GERMANY UNDER THE DIRECTION OF FELIX OTTO DESSOFF. SCORED FOR PAIRS OF FLUTES, OBOES, CLARINETS, AND BASSOONS, CONTRABASSOON, 4 HORNS, 2 TRUMPETS, 3 TROMBONES, TIMPANI, AND STRINGS. (APPROX. 45 MINS.)

W

hile many of today’s concertgoers associate Johannes Brahms with his masterful string quartets and symphonies from the 1870s and ’80s, he was lauded much earlier for his piano sonatas, lieder and chamber music. By 1853, at the age of 20, he impressed the virtuosos Joachim and Liszt, prompting the former to introduce Brahms to the influential composer and critic Robert Schumann and his wife Clara.

While Brahms’s music is often pegged as conservative and traditional, it is just as revelatory and rich in progressive musical practices as the music of Wagner and Liszt —two composers who, despite speculation, Brahms admired.

No composer had yet built successfully upon Beethoven’s instrumental legacy, and it was not until the last 25 years of Brahms’s life that he silenced his skeptical critics.

Having completed two popular string quartets in the summer of 1873 (op.

51, in C minor and A minor), Brahms announced himself the rightful heir to Beethoven by finishing a ‘Grand’ Symphony in C minor in the summer of 1876, the culmination of 15 years of compositional anguish.

The weight of expectation Brahms

dso.org

felt to advance the Beethovenian tradition surely played a role in delaying the symphony, and certainly influenced the work itself, prompting conductor Hans von Bülow to call it “Beethoven’s Tenth.” In fact, Brahms’s First Symphony seems most clearly indebted to Beethoven’s Fifth, which served as an obvious model. Both works begin their struggle in C minor and eventually triumph in C major, linking individual movements thematically and by key area to create an overarching sense of transformation.

Cast in the typical four-movement symphonic form, Brahms’s First Symphony is noteworthy for its uncanny combination of contrapuntal density and craft, harmonic richness, rhythmic complexity and soaring lyricism. The main thematic idea of the opening movement is, in actuality, a complex of three separate motifs presented simultaneously. These are immediately developed, varied and transformed, employing a new, forward-looking method that would influence modernist composers such as Arnold Schoenberg, who named the technique “developing variation.”

Here, Brahms’s phrases are of irregular lengths, constantly changing over conflicting rhythmic layers.

Both the first and last movements employ lengthy slow introductions in C minor, with the finale revisiting the turbulent mood of the first movement’s introduction. An unexpectedly majestic horn call and trombone chorale, echoed throughout other sections of the orchestra, lead to the now-famous primary theme of the final movement. This stately C Major melody, first presented in the strings, has been linked to Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” theme, both in general mood and intervallic content, and was later borrowed by Mahler to open his Third Symphony.

Distinguished Director Spotlight BERNARD ROBERTSON

The DSO is pleased to recognize Bernard Robertson in this issue’s Distinguished Director Spotlight.

Robertson, a retired Senior Vice President of the Chrysler Corporation, joined our governance family in 2004.

Over the past decade, Bernard has been an active member of our Board of Directors, holding notable leadership positions on the Strategic Planning Task Force, Governance Task Force and the Nominating & Governance Committee. As Chair of the Governance Task Force from 2011-2012, Bernard facilitated the thoughtful process of strengthening and recommending role clarity and composition for the Board of Directors in relation to the current governance needs of the institution. This critical work resulted in a unanimous approval by the Governing Membership in 2012 with support for a transition to a smaller board of 18-25 members charged with the utmost level of engagement in the areas of fiscal oversight, strategic thinking and cultural stewardship of the DSO. While implementation is still ongoing, Bernard continues to steward this process via his role as the Chair of the Nominating & Governance Committee today.

Aside from his invaluable contributions at the governance level, Bernard and his wife Ellie are regular classical concert attendees on Thursday nights and support special events such as the Heroes Gala each year.

The DSO extends its immense appreciation and gratitude for the Robertsons’ continued passion and support of our orchestra. dso.org

Corporate Spotlight

FORD MOTOR COMPANY FUND

Ford Motor Company has been generously helping the Detroit Symphony Orchestra reach new audiences as far back as the 1930s, when it provided support for the DSO’s live radio broadcasts. In recent years, Ford has been a key partner in making the DSO accessible worldwide with crucial support of the Live from Orchestra Hall webcasts.

In July 2014, the DSO and Ford Motor Company Fund, the automaker’s philanthropic arm, announced a free chamber music series in metro Detroit, DSO-on-the-Go with Ford. The series fits with Ford’s longstanding commitment to supporting important cultural institutions such as the DSO that enrich the communities where the company does business.

“The DSO is one of the cultural jewels that make our city great, and we are excited to have its acclaimed musicians perform live throughout Detroit’s neighborhoods,” said Jim Vella, president, Ford Motor Company Fund. “This concert series also fits with our belief in expanding awareness of the incredible level of arts and music we have in our community.”

Ford Motor Company Fund has provided the DSO with more than $17 million in support over the last 20 years. For more information on the Ford Motor Company Fund, please visit community.ford.com.

Foundation Spotlight

THE WILLIAM DAVIDSON FOUNDATION

The William Davidson Foundation is a family foundation established in 2005 in Detroit that honors the memory of its founder, William Davidson, by continuing his generous legacy of philanthropy throughout Southeast Michigan. The foundation is committed to efforts to preserve and enhance Jewish life in the United States as well as efforts to improve the economic and cultural prosperity of southeastern Michigan to make the region an even more desirable place to work and live.

William Davidson, former president, chairman and CEO of Guardian Industries, shared a long-lasting relationship with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, strengthening the organization through generous support of the DSO’s annual operations and domestic and international tours. In recent years, the William Davidson Foundation has continued this relationship, sponsoring a number of the orchestra’s activities outside Orchestra Hall, including the first three seasons of the Neighborhood Concert Series and the DSO’s appearance at Carnegie Hall in May 2013.

In continuation of their substantial support of the Neighborhood Concert Series, the DSO received a $3.75 million grant from the William Davidson Foundation in 2014. The grant will support this immensely popular concert series over the next three years, in addition to other touring activities of the DSO. In recognition of the outstanding generosity of the William Davidson Foundation and William Davidson, the DSO is pleased to present the fourth year of the newlynamed William Davidson Neighborhood Concert Series throughout the metro Detroit area in 2015 and in the future. dso.org

C

onducted by Rudolph Speil, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra performed its first concert at the Detroit Opera House on December 19, 1887. On this date, the orchestra began its inaugural season as the 4th oldest symphony orchestra in the nation.

Members of the 1887 Society receive recognition in each issue of Performance magazine and an annual society luncheon, as well as enjoying a special package of benefits throughout the DSO season.

If you have arranged for a legacy gift, or for more information on ways to do so, please contact Jessica Luther, Planned Giving Associate, at 313.576.5052.

The Detroit Symphony Orchestra Board of Directors is pleased to honor the 1887 Society.
