'Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Public Television Host NYE Party

Still can’t decide what to do for New Year’s Eve? The Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Detroit Public Television are hosting the first DPTV-DSO Live from Orchestra Hall gala and concert. Even if you cannot make it to the concert hall, you can tune into the show at home or watch online! The special broadcast will be hosted by DPTV’s Fred Nahhat and the host of Michigan Public Radio’s "All Things Considered," Jennifer White. The event is a black-tie affair. Led by the DSO’s Principal Pops Conductor Jeff Tyzik, the orchestra will perform a swinging combination of jazz standards like “Sweet Georgia Brown” and “Ain’t Misbehavin’” featuring jazz trumpet legend Byron Stripling and organist Bobby Floyd, as well as light classical selections by Strauss and Smetana. Guests will be invited to sing along with a full orchestral performance of “Auld Lang Syne,” making the audience literally part of the show. The party will continue following the concert with a choice of traditional dance band, jazz lounge and dance club atmospheres throughout The Max.
