Detroit’s new hall is ‘The Max’
The days of symphony musicians preparing for performances in a trailer, concertgoers sitting on their coats and patrons standing in the snow to collect tickets, are no more.
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra today dedicates the Max M. Fisher Music Center, known as “The Max.” The $60-million center includes a restored and modernized Orchestra Hall, a newly built 450-seat performance hall and an education center.
“It symbolizes for us, finally, a facility that is worthy of our musicians, that is worthy of the acoustics of the hall and is worthy of our audiences,” said Emil Kang, president and executive director of the Detroit Symphony. “They have suffered as long as we have.”
