Kid Rock and The Detroit Symphony Orchestra Play the Fox Theatre Tonight, 5/12
By: BWW News Desk
Tonight, May 12, 2012, at 8 p.m., the unprecedented pairing of Kid Rock, Leonard Slatkin - "America's Music Director" - and the men and women of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will take the stage of Detroit's historic Fox Theatre for a one-night only fundraising concert to raise critical funds for the legendary orchestra. The idea was originally conceived by Kid Rock and Rock Ventures Founder Dan Gilbert to help save the DSO. Tickets are available for $100, $150, $250 and $350 and a limited number of "Rock the Symphony" VIP packages, which include premiere seating and access to an exclusive after party, will be made available for the event.
Tickets are on sale at OlympiaEntertainment.com, The Fox Theatre and Joe Louis Arena box offices, Hockeytown Authentics in Troy (without service charge) at all Ticketmaster locations and Ticketmaster.com. To charge tickets by phone, call (800) 745-3000. *All tickets will be sold exclusively through paperless ticket delivery, which means fans will not receive a physical concert ticket for their entry into the event. Buying paperless helps ensure fans have secure and convenient access to event tickets at the original sale price. On the day of show, concert-goers just need to bring the credit card they used for the ticket purchase and their government-issued photo ID to the concert. All members of the ticket purchaser's party must be present at the same time to enter the venue. The venue’s ticket usher will swipe their credit card upon entry and present each person in their party with seat locator slips for quick access into the show.
"As a musician, and of course a Detroiter, I am proud to be supporting this longstanding cultural institution," said Kid Rock. "And while I know these ticket prices are more than what my fans are used to paying, I am confident that whatever happens when we put the TwisTed Brown Trucker Band, a 80 piece orchestra, and "Bawitdaba" together will be well worth the price of admission." Kid Rock, the Fox Theatre, Leonard Slatkin, and the DSO are volunteering their services for concert. All proceeds from the concert will be directed to the DSO, which also funds outreach, engagement, and community service work in schools, hospitals, retirement centers, places of worship, and community centers across Southeastern Michigan. Sponsors to date include Made in Detroit, The Kid Rock Foundation, Rock Ventures/Quicken Loans, Ilitch Holdings, Inc., The Fox Theatre and Olympia Entertainment, and the DSO.
For more information on "Rock The Symphony" VIP packages including premiere seating and after party access, please call the DSO offices at (313) 576-5100.
