| Detroit Symphony Orchestra | | The Detroit Symphony Orchestra was established in 1914 and is fast becoming one of the most prominent orchestras in the United States. Briefly renamed the Paradise Theatre in 1941, Detroit's Orchestra Hall once served as a premier jazz venue which featured Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holliday, Count Basie and Duke Ellington. Since its founding, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra has been at the forefront of music education. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra Fellowship Program for African American musicians and the African American Composers Residency are examples of this orchestra's commitment to outreach and training. |
