	Orchestra Hall, Detroit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orchestra Hall, in Detroit, Michigan, is a major music hall as well as the home of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO).
		Orchestra Hall was built in 1919, in barely five months, because Ossip Gabrilowitsch demanded that the DSO 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.

		In ancient Greece the orchestra was the space between the auditorium and the proscenium (or stage), in which were stationed the chorus and the instrumentalists.
		In some theaters, the orchestra is the area of seats directly in front of the stage (called "primafila" or "platea"); the term more properly applies to the place in a theatre, or concert hall set apart for the musicians.
