Relaxed Open Rehearsal: Oops…I Sang It Again
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra holds a relaxed open rehearsal on Friday, April 23, at 10 a.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. The program features millennial pop queen hits, with three vocalists joining the orchestra.
The musicians are preparing for the weekend's concerts, and you get a behind-the-scenes look. Expect hits from Britney, Beyoncé and Christina, plus The Spice Girls, TLC and Destiny's Child, with three vocalists joining the orchestra.
This "relaxed" format is designed for people on the autism spectrum and those with other sensory sensitivities. You don't have to sit still and quiet. Joyful noise is welcome. The audience size is limited to keep crowds down, there's a quiet space for breaks, and a limited number of sensory toolkits with noise-cancelling headphones and fidgets. DSO staff were trained by the Mid-Michigan Autism Association, and parking is complimentary.
Hands-on activities run from 9 to 10 a.m. To help you prepare, there's an information guide, a social story and a Spotify playlist. Questions go to Kiersten Alcorn, the DSO's Manager of Engagement & Accessibility.
