Overview
A masterpiece, reborn.
BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY celebrates David Bowie’s final, critically acclaimed album Blackstar—reimagined for the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and performed with the original Blackstar band.
Immerse yourself in the bold, genre-defying world of David Bowie's Blackstar performed in its entirety alongside classics like “Space Oddity,” “Life on Mars,” and “Heroes”. BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY is a poignant tribute, and a celebration of pure musical genius.
Artistic Director Donny McCaslin, who along with keyboardist Jason Lindner and bassist Tim Lefebvre helped create the original Blackstar recording, bring their electrifying energy to the stage alongside the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Joining them are Bowie's longtime bandmate Gail Ann Dorsey, along with vocalist David Poe and the indispensable rhythmic talents of drummer Zach Danziger, all under the masterful baton of conductor Tim Davies. John Cameron Mitchell joins the band as a special guest onstage.
