Andrew Bird With The Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Andrew Bird With The Detroit Symphony Orchestra at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

Andrew Bird brings his violin, his voice, and The Mysterious Production of Eggs to Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 7:30 PM. The GRAMMY-nominated multi-instrumentalist performs the acclaimed album top to bottom with orchestral arrangements, putting every song from that record into a new live context. For followers who've carried the album since its release, this is the chance to hear it complete, reimagined, and backed by the full Detroit Symphony Orchestra under conductor Jacomo Bairos.

Bird's sound resists easy labels—violin lines that swing between folk melody and jazz phrasing, pop structures with room for instrumental exploration, and a voice that holds its own against swelling orchestral textures. The draw is Bird’s musical imagination on a symphonic scale, with his distinctive playing at the center. Follow the violin, recognize the voice, and reconnect with an album whose detail gives longtime listeners so much to love.

The program doesn't stop with The Mysterious Production of Eggs. Bird caps the performance with a suite of fan favorites drawn from nearly thirty years of work, giving longtime listeners another reason to attend and offering newer fans a wider introduction. Take someone who appreciates Bird's catalog or who's curious about how his music translates with orchestral support. That pairing of a complete record and a wider catalog makes this a particularly appealing date for devoted Bird listeners.
