Sensory-Friendly Concert: Story Time
Musicians of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra play an interactive, 45-minute concert of musical stories on Saturday, June 12, at 11 a.m. in The Cube at the Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center in Detroit. It's built for people with neurodiversity or intellectual or developmental disabilities, along with their families and caregivers.
This is a sensory-friendly concert, so no one expects you to sit still and stay quiet. Dance, vocalize, step out when you need to. Everyone gets to be themselves.
The audience is kept small, the lights stay low, and seating is flexible. There's a quiet space for breaks, plus noise-cancelling headphones and fidgets during the rehearsal (limited number). Parking is complimentary, and DSO staff have been trained by the Mid-Michigan Autism Association. An information guide and social story help you prepare.
Hands-on activities run from 10 to 11 a.m. before the concert. Questions? Contact Kiersten Alcorn, the DSO's Manager of Engagement & Accessibility, at the accessibility address on the DSO site.
