Jader Bignamini leads the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in a compelling program of intensity and emotion through the full power of the orchestra. Michael Abels’ Global Warming evokes a world in flux, charged with urgency and momentum, while Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4 channels the relentless force of fate through sweeping drama and triumphant resolve.

Continue the experience the next day, July 19, as Bignamini returns to conduct the World Youth Symphony Orchestra alongside members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in a program featuring Abels’ Emerge and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5, echoing and expanding upon these powerful themes. A separate ticket is required.
