DSO Reaching Out To String Players; New Adult Ensemble Forming

DETROIT (WWJ) - The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is stringing together a unique opportunity for amateur musicians.

"Come on by to pick up your instrument," says Ben Buerninger with the DSO. "To play with some of your friends, your peers, rehearse in a really great rehearsal space and maybe interact with some DSO musicians as well."

Beginning Tuesday October 11, amateur musicians who play the viola, violin, cello and bass could be part of a new adult ensemble. The Wu family academy has created a Detroit Symphony community orchestra and is in need of musicians to fill the chairs.

"If it's something that maybe you played back in high school or maybe you practice at home for fun but you want to get out of the house with it -- this is a great opportunity to do that," says Buerninger.
