Concerts For Teachers and Students
For more than 80 years, the Education Concerts Series (ECS) has introduced classical music to metro-Detroit school children with concerts featuring interactive programs with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, for children in grades 3-12. Performances last approximately 45-50 minutes and take place in Orchestra Hall.
Registration forms for the 2010-11 series will be mailed, emailed and made available to download from this website in late August. For more information about the program or if you would like to be added to our email/mailing list for the next season, please contact the DSO at 313-576-5499 or ecs@dso.org.
