Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Very lovely symphony! Grew up playing cello so getting to see orchestras live is so special to me. This was my first visit to the DSO and they were wonderful. Came for The Planets Suite and the group was magnificent. Lobby and theater are gorgeous but one big con is the seat. I am only 5'5 and felt incredibly crammed and antsy sitting through the performance. But I do love the historic feel of the theater so it is a small price to pay!

Gorgeous concert hall! Fabulous acoustics. Fantastic musicians! I saw Mahler's 5th symphony there tonight and it was a beautiful experience. Very affordable tickets. Everyone should experience the DSO at least once. I loved it!

Great show by the Under the street lamp with member of the Jersey Boys together with the DSO

Love how the DSO is bringing music it to the streets of the city. I caught them at Campus Martius with their melody of movie scores. Last night they hosted an international group for the Colors Festival.The music hall is across from Whole Foods, and UM midtown campus with adjacent garage parking.

I went in today to go to the DSO to check out a show for my parents upcoming celebration and was pleasantly greeted by the box office attendant named Joe Sabatella. He is absolutely fabulous at his job not only did he give us a great recommendation for seating for the show for our special celebration, but he also gave us detailed information about their NEX GEN program, which turned out to be exactly what I was looking for that didn't know existed. This is a program where for $40 you get a subscription with access to all the DSO programs and you can go to any show at the DSO or any one of their productions for $10 per ticket per person. There is a limit on the amount of tickets that you can buy but I usually only need 2 tickets total so this is perfect for me. This is a great option for lovers of all music genres and styles. The shows play at the downtown DSO as well as several venues located in local neighborhoods. I am more than satisfied with the trip to the box office today and very happy for all of the information and help. It's wonderful that now I pretty much have the rest of my season of music planned out. Thanks again for all of the assistance, courtesy and professionalism, Joe Sabatella.

Detroit Symphony Orchestra is a must visit place. I have been here for a beautiful wedding and also shows. The overall staff are very pleasant.

Great music and variety. Look for special performances like Tribute to Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin presentation and Black Panther.

How lucky we are to have such an incredible institution here in Detroit? So so lucky! Unfortunately during this time of shelter in place live performances have been postponed but you can enjoy past performances in the comfort of your own home with free access to their DSO Replay that you can find at dso.org/replay. I also highly recommend following them on social to enjoy porch concerts from DSO performers and other talented musicians that they share regularly. It's a balm to the soul during this difficult time. I look forward to taking in more performances and supporting their season once we reopen. We must keep these vital arts institutions afloat. It is the arts that we turn to in difficult times and we need them more now than ever.

Great orchestra And facility Very entertaining and educational Great music director and soloists

The orchestra is great, but pay for better seats. I attended a show seated in the upper balcony not knowing how poorly designed this space is. Do not buy these seats if you are tall as there is absolutely minimal legroom. I'm 6'2" and my experience in these seats was painful. The physical problems became psychological too as I started to feel claustrophobic. Honestly, I could barely wait for the event to end. Will never sit up there again. If you are a large human, be warned.
