DETROIT -
The annual DSO Classical Roots Gala Celebration will be held Saturday, March 4th at Orchestra Hall 6:30 pm with a reception. The black-tie gala fundraiser event is one of the highlights of the Black History tributes. This promises to be an extraordinary evening complimented by some extraordinary classical music. Black History touches our lives in almost everything we do, especially music. This event continues to be the premiere event for Black History Month festivities.

The DSO will honor composer and pianist Anthony Davis and Reverend Dr. Charles G. Adams at the 22nd annual Arthur L. Johnson-Honorable Damon Jerome Keith Classical Roots Celebration on March 4, 2023. Classical Roots honors African American composers, musicians, educators, and leaders for lifetime achievement and raises funds to support the DSO’s African American music and musician development programs. Dr. Adams is the first minister to be named to this prestigious honor.

Guests will enjoy a full evening of dinner, an incredible concert, and dancing. The Celebration will begin with a cocktail reception followed by a specially prepared dinner, along with lots of great music throughout the evening. The 45th annual Classical Roots concert will take place in Orchestra Hall. The gala will take place on Saturday, March 4 at 5 p.m. The orchestra will be conducted by Na’Zir McFadden (DSO Assistant Conductor and Phillip and Lauren Fisher Community Ambassador). The Brazeal Dennard Chorale—a vital part of Classical Roots since its inception and currently celebrating its 50th anniversary—and Artistic Director Alice McAllister Tillman will open both performances with Lift Every Voice and Sing, which has been performed at the beginning of every Classical Roots concert since the event’s inauguration in 1978. The Chorale and Tillman will also be featured in a selection of Spirituals, to be announced.

Priscilla Perkins and Linda Forte are co-chairs of the event along with the support of more than 30 generous Detroit-area citizens and corporate leaders that are committed to the Classical Roots mission, and to make this event a success.
