The Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) is known for trailblazing performances, collaborations with the world’s foremost musicians, and a deep connection to its city. In January 2020, Jader Bignamini was named Music Director, commencing from the 2020–21 season. Leonard Slatkin, who concluded a decade-long tenure at the helm in 2018, now serves as Music Director Laureate. Jeff Tyzik is the orchestra’s Principal Pops Conductor, and Terence Blanchard holds the Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Jazz Creative Director Chair.

Making its home at Orchestra Hall within the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center, the DSO’s schedule features Classical, PNC Pops, Paradise Jazz, and Young People’s Family Concert series. The orchestra also presents the William Davidson Neighborhood Concert Series, as well as multi-genre performances at The Cube. In 1922 the DSO became the first orchestra to present a radio broadcast and continues today with the free Live from Orchestra Hall webcast series.

With growing attendance and philanthropic support, the DSO pursues a mission to inspire individuals, families, and communities through music.
