A MUSICAL HISTORY

As it celebrates its centennial year, Orchestra Hall’
s legacy goes beyond its leg-
endary acoustics or the roster of bold-faced names that have graced its stage. 
“100 Years of Music, Magic and Community” in the Detroit Historical Museum, 
5401 Woodward Ave., invites guests to learn more about Orchestra Hall and the 
Detroiters who spent time in this extraordinary space. The exhibition is free with 
museum general admission. The story of Ossip Gabrilowitsch, the DSO music 
director for whom Orchestra Hall was built, will be joined with the story of the 
Hall’
s origins and first 20 years. Listen to music, watch videos and try your hand 
at conducting the Detroit Symphony Orchestra at an interactive stage. Info: call the 
museum, 313-833-1805 or detroithistorical.org.
