The Warren Symphony Orchestra

Since its first season in 1973-74, the Warren Symphony has given many hundreds of concerts in the southeastern Michigan region. Three times in recent years it was voted "Outstanding Community Orchestra" at the Detroit Music Awards.

Many Michigan soloists have appeared with the orchestra, as have international artists such as Ani and Ida Kavafian, dance companies such as Eisenhower Dance Ensemble and the Kyiv Ballet, and popular attractions such as P.D.Q. Bach, Corky Siegel, and Robert Goulet.

The Warren Symphony's educational programs bring thousands of youngsters to an orchestra concert for the first time, as well as numerous ensembles who perform in school classrooms. As a millennium celebration, the Symphony established an innovative program, "Kids Composing," with the aid of a major grant from the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan.

The regular concert season runs October through May.
