Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Mozart & Schumann

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Mozart & Schumann at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Mozart & Schumann brings grace, fire and a rare spotlight on two DSO musicians to Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 8:00 PM. Flutist Hannah Hammel Maser and harpist Alyssa Katahara step forward as soloists in Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp in C major, pairing woodwind breath with the shimmer of plucked strings. For listeners who love hearing virtuoso playing emerge from within the orchestra, this Saturday program gives that excitement two names and two very different instrumental colors.

Conductor Jader Bignamini frames the concerto with works that broaden the emotional range. Fanny Mendelssohn's Overture in C major opens the program—her only purely orchestral composition, a piece that balances elegance with forward energy. Closing the night, Schumann's Symphony No. 3, the Rhenish, delivers optimism, fire and the deep sacred glow its composer built into the music. The delicate solo pairing sits between an orchestral opening and a symphonic finish with a much broader emotional scale.

This specific announced repertoire takes you from Classical-era refinement through Romantic exuberance in a single outing. Make a Saturday date with the interplay of flute and harp, the bright character of Mendelssohn's overture, and the weight Schumann gives his symphonic celebration. Share it with the person who loves a lyrical solo passage as much as a full-orchestra surge. The appeal reaches from the smallest exchange to the largest musical gesture.
