Children 12 and under receive free entry with the purchase of an adult ticket.

Our first concert of the season pays homage to Homage, featuring Caroline Shaw's To the Hands, a powerful retelling of Buxtehude's "Ad manus" movement from Membra Jesu nostri. Shaw's music for choir and baroque string quintet is by turns unsettling, urgent and hopeful, reflecting on the way hands can hold a person, a people or a nation. Also on the program: the whirlwind polyphony of Media Vita, and Kerensa Briggs' alluring tribute; music of Brahms, Lili Boulanger, and Britten's masterpiece, Hymn to St Cecilia.

As Prince’s longtime keyboardist and music director, Morris Hayes spent nearly 20 years working alongside the legendary artist. On October 27, Hayes brings his new production to Detroit’s Bonstelle Playhouse for an intimate musical experience celebrating songs marking his journey with Prince and other architects of the Minneapolis Sound. The evening benefits Crescendo Detroit and opens with Crescendo students performing alongside Hayes and acclaimed Detroit musicians. For VIP guests, the night continues with a meet & greet and Late Set, as more of Detroit’s most acclaimed artists come out to jam, celebrate the music and support Crescendo.

“They nearly always come back,” said Béla Fleck. “All the people that leave bluegrass. I had a strong feeling that I’d be coming back as well.” Fleck’s album My Bluegrass Heart, was released on Renew Records in 2021 and is the return the 15-time Grammy winner is talking about – the third chapter in a decades-spanning trilogy which, by his counting, started with 1988’s Drive and continued with The Bluegrass Sessions, released eleven years later. Over the long and lauded course of his unique creative run, Fleck – the world’s premier banjo virtuoso and a celebrated musical adventurer – has both dug deep into his instrument’s complex global history and unlocked the breadth of its possibilities. My Bluegrass Heart is a homecoming in sound, to be sure.
