Orchestra Hall Detroit's Orchestra Hall is the home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the city's original concert hall. Beautifully restored thanks to preservation efforts starting in 1970, the hall is again open and home to the city's celebrated orchestra. Built in 1919 from designs by Detroit's premier theater architect Charles Howard Crane, the hall was completed in four months in order to secure internationally renowned conductor Ossip Gabrilowitsch. www.woodwardheritage.com /historicalsites/orchestra.hall.html

Michigan Historical Marker: Orchestra Hall This concert hall was built in 1919 as the home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Scheduled for demolition in 1970 the building was acquired by Save Orchestra Hall, Incorporated.

Encyclopedia: Orchestra Hall, Detroit Detroit's Orchestra Hall was built in 1919, in barely five months, because Ossip Gabrilowitsch demanded that the Detroit Symphony Orchestra build a suitable auditorium before he assumed his position as music director. Orchestra Hall was renamed Paradise Theater in 1941, and became a major jazz venue, hosting such renowned jazz musicians as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Count Basie and Duke Ellington. Principal DSO bassoonist Paul Ganson spearheaded a fundraiser movement to restore Orchestra Hall and add it to the National Register of Historic Sites. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Orchestra-Hall,-Detroit

Aretha Franklin helps sing in a new DSO I love the sensuality of being bathed in Rachmaninoff or Tchaikovsky at Orchestra Hall. It is incredible that Aretha Franklin, in all her performing modes over a career that spans more than four decades, had never taken the stage of Orchestra Hall. On the stage at Orchestra Hall, Aretha Franklin spends more time figuring out how to choreograph herself in with the ballet dancers for one number than she does rehearsing any other song for that night's concert with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. www.freep.com /voices/columnists/qarrigo1.htm

Orchestra Hall Within thirty minutes of a wrecking ball demolition, Orchestra Hall was barely saved in the 1970's.

Orchestra Hall gets an overhaul - 07/08/02 For one key purpose of the amazing dig in progress is to provide Orchestra Hall with its first modern air-conditioning system since the building opened in 1919. By mid-October this excavation site, unrecognizable but not at all exotic, will be restored to its familiar form as the main-floor seating area at Orchestra Hall. Despite its beauty and great acoustics, Detroit's Orchestra Hall, built in 1919, was long overdue for a modern air-conditioning and heating system. www.detnews.com /2002/entertainment/0207/08/d01-531600.htm

FLlW_UPDATE The information comes from someone who travels with orchestras, knows how they sound in great halls such as Boston Symphony Hall, Detroit Orchestra Hall, Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Louis Sullivan's famed auditorium in Chicago, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, Arizona. Whenever a visiting orchestra or other group, such as the Israel Philharmonic, is playing, the entire city block has to be cordoned off by a massive police contingent. Designed by Frank Gehry, the hall has been acclaimed by critics for its fine acoustics and also for its impressive and novel architecture. www.franklloydwrightinfo.com

Bruckner Symphony No. 9/Skrowaczewski Happy to report, the result here suggests an actual concert hall with the orchestra conventionally seated, on a stage, inside a shell, perhaps under reflecting panels. This doesn't sound to me like the Minneapolis Orchestra Hall that Marc Aubort and Joanna Nickrenz recorded during the orchestra's Vox years, or that James Mallison and Jack Renner reproduced for Telarc. Checking out the recording dates on those Bruckner symphonies that Skrowaczewski has conducted for Arte Nova with the Radio Orchestra in Saarbrücken, this Ninth from Minneapolis is the most recent installment in a nearly-complete series. classicalcdreview.com /bruckner9minn.html   (463 words)
