Violin soloist Tai Murray is coming to Monroe.
The Yale University professor and violinist will perform with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra at 8 p.m. March 17 in the Meyer Theater, La-Z-Boy Center at Monroe County Community College, 1555 S. Raisinville Road.
Murray’s work has been called “superb” by The New York Times.
The two-hour performance will open with Antonin Dvorak’s “Carnival Overture,” which the DSO says offers “a celebratory, even rowdy, carnival atmosphere.”
The DSO and Murray also will play Dvorak’s Violin Concerto in A Minor with traditional Czech dances as well as Myroslav Skoryk’s “Melody” and Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 2 in D Major.
“Skoryk’s ‘Melody’ is a moving evocation of his native Ukraine, while Beethoven’s second symphony evokes pastoral themes at the culmination of his early era,” the DSO said.
Michael Balke is the symphony's conductor for the concert.
The DSO’s Monroe concert is part of the William Davidson Neighborhood Series Concerts. The series brings the DSO to neighboring cities. Other stops in the series are in Southfield and Beverly Hills.
Other upcoming DSO concerts at MCCC are May 12 and June 16.
Tickets are $30 for adults and $10 each for children. For tickets, call the DSO Box Office at 313-576-5111 or visit www.dso.org.
