Hello all –
A quick reminder about our concert and clinic this weekend. This is going to be very different and very exciting for us! We hope you plan to attend! The clinic and concert are REQUIRED for all choir members. Students have been aware of this concert from the first day of school.
Concert Information: PLEASE share on Social media, etc.!
The National Arab Orchestra presents one of the most exclusive concerts in the US this year. Join us for a celebratory evening of arts and culture with the NAO performing some of the most treasured pieces in the Arab music repertoire. The NAO will also be featuring over 100 students (and soloists!) from Detroit School of Arts, Edsel Ford High School, and Fordson High School as part of its Building Bridges through Music program in a combined performance. In addition to the concert program, there will be a surprise performance by Lebanese artist, Mia Haddad. Be sure not to miss this one of a kind event. Tickets on sale now!!!

We will have a sound check, then students will have pizza provided by the Orchestra (Veggie, Halal, cheese, and meat options will be available.) We will then change into concert attire and be seated as a group in the Michael Guido Theatre to enjoy the first half of the concert. Proper concert etiquette is REQUIRED. We perform on the second half of the concert. I do not know how long the concert will be, but students are required to attend the entire concert. We most heartily hope you are attending with them and enjoy the experience with us. (Please do not ask to pick them up “early”.)
We are looking forward to an exciting and enlightening weekend! See you all there!
