FREE DSO Community Concerts - Detroit, Monroe, Waterford, Sterling Heights - 9/20, 9/22-9/23
For the eighth consecutive year, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) will perform four free community concerts to kick off its new season at venues across Metro Detroit, presented by DTE Energy Foundation. All four concerts will be conducted by Yaniv Segal and feature classical and pops favorites by Copland, Mozart, Rossini, and John Williams.
This year’s concerts will take place in:
• DETROIT on Thursday, September 20 at 10:45 a.m. at Greater Grace Temple
• WATERFORD on Thursday, September 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Waterford Kettering High School
• MONROE on Saturday, September 22 at 8 p.m. at Meyer Theater (on the campus of Monroe County Community College)
• STERLING HEIGHTS on Sunday, September 23 at 3 p.m. at Sterling Heights High School
“The DSO is dedicated to connecting with communities in and around Detroit throughout the year, and these free concerts that launch our season have become a great way to demonstrate that commitment” said DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons. “We are grateful to the DTE Energy Foundation for this partnership that promotes and enables unique opportunities for accessibility and we deeply value our historic collaboration. As we make the tough choices around the annual selection of host venues, we invite others to join in this support so that more opportunities can be offered to the many areas of our city where we have yet to visit.”
For more than 50 years the DTE Energy Foundation, the philanthropic arm of DTE Energy, has supported the DSO and its cultural programs, and the Foundation is proud to once again help the Orchestra bring music to diverse communities throughout Southeast Michigan. In the spring of 2016, the DTE Energy Foundation awarded the DSO with a three-year grant to continue offering these free community concerts each fall. It also includes endowment support for music education, senior citizen outreach, and additional community engagement programming.
“The Community Concert Series is a partnership event that we look forward to sharing with our communities each year to bring local residents, youth, and families together and provide the opportunity to hear a world-class orchestra play in their own backyard,” said Lynette Dowler, president of the DTE Energy Foundation. “By partnering with the DSO, we’re hoping to inspire others to pursue culturally enriching experiences or careers that enhance their quality of life.”
While the concerts are free admission, a seat reservation is required for entry. Seats can be reserved now at dso.org or by clicking on the following links:

The Adult Rehabilitation Center is an integral part of The Salvation Army’s mission, and offers substance-abusing adults the opportunity to rebuild their lives through a voluntary, short-term residential self-help program designed to establish a sense of dignity, self-esteem and personal strength that will allow them to resist the desire to abuse a substance and regain their rightful place as contributing members of society. Completely self-funded, the ARC draws its entire operating budget from the revenue of its 37 metro Detroit thrift stores.

Comerica Bank hosts FREE document shredding and electronic collection event at Comerica Park 5/6
Comerica Bank, Iron Mountain and Re-Source Partners invite the community to the annual Shred Day event Saturday, May 6, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., at Comerica Park.
Shred Day is a free document shredding event designed to help raise awareness for identity theft protection.
“According to the Federal Trade Commission’s 2016 Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book, Michigan is the top ranked state and the Detroit, Warren and Dearborn area ranked the third largest metropolitan area on the consumer complaints list for reporting identity theft,” said Patricia McCann, vice president and employee volunteer program manager for Comerica Bank. “At Comerica, we know how important it is to secure financial and personal information to protect your identity and Shred Day provides the Metro Detroit community an opportunity to dispose of vulnerable documents properly.”
Sensitive documents containing addresses, social security numbers, financial information, etc. that are no longer needed should be destroyed and kept out of the hands of thieves. Iron Mountain will shred paper documents onsite using mobile shredding units or live shredding trucks. The shredded paper will then be turned into pulp and recycled. Re-Source Partners will be collecting electronics such as computer systems and accessories, handheld devices and office equipment for recycling.
In 2016, Comerica Bank collected 829,094 pounds of paper at Shred Day events held across the country– enough to cover the Comerica Park infield almost 3,000 sheets of paper deep or enough to cover the entire Comerica Park playing field more than 500 times.
Gleaners Community Food Bank will be collecting nonperishable food items during the event as well. Everyone is encouraged to give back while protecting their identity.
Comerica Park is located at 2100 Woodward Avenue in Detroit. For more information and a complete list of prohibited items, please visit www.comerica.com/ShredDay
