Beethoven’s Fifth
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra plays Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony on Saturday, January 16, at 8 p.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. The program also features Anna Thorvaldsdóttir’s ARCHORA and Katherine Balch’s violin concerto Artifacts. Tickets run $30.95 to $124.66.
This program is a journey to beginnings. In ARCHORA, Anna Thorvaldsdóttir looks for the origins of life in music shaped by primordial forces. Katherine Balch’s violin concerto Artifacts is a warm tribute to her friendship with DSO Concertmaster Robyn Bollinger. Then comes Beethoven’s Fifth, which builds a whole world out of the smallest musical seed.

Seating is general admission in Orchestra Hall, so it's a good chance to try a different seat than your ticket.
