The Detroit Symphony Orchestra pays tribute to David Bowie one night only July 10th at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre. The Music of David Bowie is a 2 hour concert event featuring Bowie classics performed by the DSO accompanied by a full rock band. The performance features ~ 18 rapturous songs from Bowie's catalog, including "Space Oddity," "Rebel Rebel" "Fame," "Under Pressure," and "Heroes."

Conductor Brent Havens has previously arranged and conducted other symphonic rock tributes featuring music of U2, the Doors, and Pink Floyd among others.  He reveals:

"My concept for The Music of David Bowie was to take the music as close to the originals as we could and then add some colors to enhance what Bowie had done. The wonderful thing with an orchestra is that you have an entire palette to call upon. The band is reproducing what Bowie did on the albums, verbatim, and then having an orchestra behind the band gives the music a richness, a whole different feel, a whole different sense of power."

Tickets for the Music of David Bowie go on sale Saturday, March 26th at 10am.  Pre-sales kick off Thursday, March 24th.
