Detroit Symphony Orchestra: From Darkness To Light

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: From Darkness To Light at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

Storm clouds, then breakthrough. A journey from shadow to soaring hymn. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra presents From Darkness To Light at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall on Sunday, January 31, 2027, at 3:00 PM, with a program built around contrast and resolution. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Ballade in A minor opens with wild orchestral energy. Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 in D minor follows, described as music that feels like taking a bath in spiritual water. Brahms's Symphony No. 1 in C minor closes the afternoon, reaching what the program promises as incandescent heights.

Pianist Fabian Müller makes his DSO debut with the Mozart concerto, giving followers of the repertoire a specific reason to be curious. A first appearance with the orchestra means fresh interpretation and the chance to hear a new voice in familiar music. Conductor Markus Stenz leads the afternoon, guiding the ensemble through the program's dramatic shifts and taking listeners on the promised journey from darkness to light in the Brahms symphony. Enjoy the chance to let the musicians draw you in across all three works.

Each piece adds a different kind of drama, and together they create an afternoon with room for storm, introspection and triumph. A Sunday matinee is a chance to make music the center of your weekend plans.
