Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Experience a truly extraordinary collision of indie artistry and classical grandeur when Andrew Bird joins forces with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra at the magnificent Detroit Symphony Hall. On Wednesday, November 18, 2026, the multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and whistling virtuoso brings his layered, genre-defying soundscapes to one of the Midwest's most storied concert halls, backed by the full orchestral power of the DSO in a performance that promises to be nothing short of breathtaking. Andrew Bird is renowned for his ability to blur the lines between folk, jazz, and classical music, weaving looping violin lines, intricate whistling, and poetic lyricism into something altogether singular. Paired with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, his compositions will take on a sweeping new dimension — intimate moments amplified into cinematic grandeur, and orchestral textures woven seamlessly through his signature sound. It is the kind of collaboration that feels both inevitable and once-in-a-lifetime. Detroit Symphony Hall itself is a destination worthy of the occasion — a stunning Beaux-Arts landmark that has hosted the world's greatest musical talents for over a century. Its world-class acoustics and opulent interior set the perfect stage for an evening that transcends the ordinary concert experience. Whether you are a longtime Andrew Bird devotee or a passionate symphony-goer, this is an unmissable night of music in the heart of Detroit.
