Sensory-friendly Open Rehearsal: Spooky Spectacular
Detroit Symphony Orchestra hosts a free, sensory-friendly open rehearsal on Friday, October 30, at 1:30 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look as the DSO prepares the Young People’s Family Concert Halloween program.
Come in costume and listen as the DSO shapes its Spooky Spectacular—ghostly dances, mischievous spells, and symphonic surprises bring classical music’s delightfully eerie moments to life.
This relaxed event is designed for individuals on the autism spectrum and with other sensory sensitivities: limited audience size, flexible etiquette, a sensory toolkit with noise-cancelling headphones and fidgets (limited supply), a Quiet Space, and trained DSO staff. Hands-on activities run 12:30–1:30 p.m. You’ll also get prep resources (info guide, social story, Spotify playlist), plus complimentary parking.
