(WXYZ) – The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is on a mission to collect 2,500 used instruments for students in Detroit during the month of October.
DSO says it is partnering with community groups and local businesses statewide to launch instrument ordering to benefit its Detroit Harmony program, which aims to put an instrument in the hands of every student Kindergarten to Grade 12 from the city of Detroit who wish to learn to play.
The training will take place from October 1 to 31. They also teamed up with the Michigan State University Spartan Marching Band and the Michigan Marching Band at the University of Michigan to organize a collection of instruments during the rivalry football game on October 30 at Spartan Stadium.
“Putting 2,500 instruments in the hands of students in Detroit and enrolling them in a program and music lessons will be a transformation for these kids,†Damien Crutcher, general manager of Detroit Harmony, said in a press release. “I look forward to the day when all students in Detroit will feel what it is like to play that first note on an instrument, and as a former student of MSU and U of M, I am especially thrilled to have the Spartan Marching Band and Michigan Marching Band collaborating with us to collect instruments.
