Listen back to Classical IPR's live broadcast of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra during the 99th Interlochen Arts Camp season.

During the 99th Interlochen Arts Camp, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra took the stage at Corson Auditorium for their annual residency at Interlochen Arts Camp. This year is the 60th anniversary of the DSO's first performance at Interlochen in 1966.

Detroit Symphony Orchestra music director Jader Bignamini conducted DSO composer-in-residence Michael Abels's "Global Warming," a work about globalization and warming relations between countries, before a performance of Peter Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 4.

Listen back to the performance and to Classical IPR's conversation and insights before and after the concert.

The broadcast included interviews with Detroit Symphony Orchestra CEO and President Erik Rönmark, composer Michael Abels and conductor Jader Bignamini.
