Revolution Detroit welcomes Leonard Slatkin
@
Majestic Theatre 4120 Woodward Ave Detroit
48201
CRD is proud to announce that Detroit Symphony Orchestra Music
Director Leonard
Slatkin will appear at this
event to lead Samuel Barber's sublime Knoxville:
Summer of 1915 featuring
coloratura soprano Kimberley
Dolanski and a 27-piece chamber
orchestra! This will certainly be our
finest event celebrating classical music
taken completely off the pedestal of the
concert hall. Kim sang Oct. 11 and floored
everyone with her star power and
versatility. When she suggested the
Barber, we couldn't resist the opportunity
to invite Mr. Slatkin who eagerly agreed
to conduct this quintessentially American
work! The orchestra
will also read 1st
movements of Mozart Symphony #25, Bach
Orchestral Suite #2, Mozart Flute and Harp
Concerto with Sharon Sparrow and Kerstin
Allvin plus Sibelius Andante Festivo.
Please join us for this unprecedented
interactive evening presented FREE with local
volunteer musicians "jamming" on
chamber music to turn on new audiences.
With the activities on the level floor,
the audience will be encouraged
to stand around and even sit within the
orchestra on the level floor at 9:00 for
an experience they can't get elsewhere! Slatkin takes the stage at
9:35 for the Barber.
Attended parking is available behind the
Majestic and across Woodward.

Mr.
CutTime writes...
Dear Classical Music Lover,
Your visit to this website means a lot. Thank you for seeking information about our pioneering
ensembles and the new series Classical
Revolution Detroit. Please enjoy what you
find and share these MP3s
from our live performances. You might also be
interested to see adventurous programs from earlier
seasons or listen to
my recent NPR
interview with Guy Raz.
Last year
we launched our string sextet
CutTime
Simfonica® with two successful inaugural concerts
and a recording session! The results are
now available at iTunes,
Amazon and CD
Baby.
We also launched an ad hoc string quartet that will play at
budget and even FREE concerts and
readings! We also produced a high-quality brochure
with help from the Kresge Fellowship!
We're happy
to enjoy a residency at the Virgil
H. Carr Cultural Arts Center and the
launch of Classical
Revolution Detroit. There was a Dec.
12, 2010 interview about it on WRCJ
90.9. Perhaps BEST of all was
playing for homeless Detroiters at
Christmas 2010 & 2011! VIDEO
Classical music, DSO and many inspirations
continue to make my artistic dreams come true.
As I hit the road with my work of the last
16 years, let me share those dreams with
you right where you live! Let
me show you WHY
classical music still very much matters... in your
neighborhood
houses of worship, schools, favorite
restaurant, bar or even your home!
Just contact
me with information for
concert organizers near you or better yet,
tell presenters, your friends and family
that you want to CLICK with classical in
CutTime!
Another way
to support CutTime® projects is by
donating through the Arts
League of Michigan, a 501(c)3
organization of Detroit. Please call 313-965-8430

sponsorship agreement.
Thank you!
