Detroit Symphony Gives Concert Specially Programmed For Deaf Audience

Uncategorized Posted: February 26, 2019 5:35 pm

The “Deaf and Loud Symphonic Experience” brought together the DSO with a band and percussionist Evelyn Glennie, rapper Sean Forbes and singer Mandy Harvey, among the world’s most famous deaf musicians. There was a large video component, a drum kit with lights showing the beat, and more than 20 ASL interpreters. “In other words, it’s a multisensory concert designed for both deaf and hearing audience members — an opportunity, organizers say, to show real accessibility and inclusiveness in a musical context.” – Detroit Free Press
