Relaxed Open Rehearsal: Classical Roots Educational Concert
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra holds a relaxed open rehearsal on Tuesday, March 2, 2027, at 1:30 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. You get a behind-the-scenes look at the orchestra, with music by Florence Price, in a setting designed for people on the autism spectrum and those with sensory sensitivities.
The Classical Roots mission highlights the major contributions African American composers and musicians have made to classical music. In this rehearsal you'll hear works by Florence Price and others while learning about the Civil Rights Movement. Hands-on activities run from 9 to 10 a.m.
"Relaxed" means you don't have to sit still and silent. Joyful noise and movement are welcome. The audience is kept small, there's a quiet space for breaks, and a limited number of sensory toolkits with noise-cancelling headphones and fidgets are available. Parking is complimentary, and DSO staff have been trained by the Mid-Michigan Autism Association. An information guide, social story and Spotify playlist help you prepare.
Questions? Contact Kiersten Alcorn, the DSO's Manager of Engagement & Accessibility, at accessibility@dso.org.
