“Come April, the sound of a horn once again will
reverberate through Detroit's historic Piquette Avenue Plant. The
Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings
plans to break from its routine of performing at suburban churches
with a new series beginning April 1 at the birthplace of Henry Ford's
Model T.” “The Detroit Chamber Winds plans one concert as part
of the series this year and two additional performances at
yet-to-be-determined sites in the coming year.”
“The
Piquette Plant performance will include music specially programmed
for the building and the early 1900s when the plant hummed with
production of the first Ford
Motor Co.
vehicles, and later the Studebaker
Corp. Detroit
Chamber Winds trombonist David Jackson will perform contemporary
composer Adolphus Hailstork's 'John Henry's Big' (Man vs. Machine),
accompanied by a pianist. A University
of Michigan
music professor, Jackson will bring some of his music students to
perform with Detroit Chamber Winds musicians.”
