Concert Details 

 

Performance is an important part of the DYS experience.

DYS presents three full-scale concerts per year in the Michael A. Guido Theater of the Ford Community & Performing Arts Center.

These concerts are held in December, March and May of the concert season and generally take place on Sunday afternoons.

All DYS musicians in good standing participate with their ensembles in the performance.

 

Individual tickets are available through the theater box office. All proceeds go to the Dearborn Youth Symphony. All seating is general admission, and theater doors open 30 minutes prior to the performance.

The Dress Rehearsal takes place immediately preceding the concert and is reflected in the call times. Call times vary according to ensemble. At the designated call times, musicians should be dressed, tuned and sitting in their assigned seat on stage.

Additionally, the March concert includes soloists selected during the annual DYS Scholarship, Solo and Concerto Competition. The Philharmonic Orchestra Concerto recipient performs at the May concert. It is also at this later concert that all scholarship winners are recognized and receive their awards.
