7/9/14 - Just hours after it was announced Tuesday that the Detroit Symphony Orchestra would play a free concert in Livingston County later this year, all of the tickets were snapped up and the show is now sold out. The Brighton Center for the Performing Arts was one of four Metro Detroit venues selected for a free DSO concert in October. It was selected by a 5-person panel, which considered dozens of letters of support from community members, hundreds of online comments and some 14,000 votes from the pool of nominees But by late Tuesday afternoon, all of the nearly 900 seats were already reserved. Gabrielle Pashadlo is a DSO spokesperson who says that reaction is exactly why Brighton was among those areas chosen for a free concert. Also selected was Garden City High School and Greater Grace Temple in Wayne County and Lake Orion High School in Oakland County. The concerts are made possible through funding provided by the DTE Energy Foundation. (JK)
