Detroit native and world-renowned jazz violinist Regina Carter will be part of the World Premiere of a violin concerto along with two other compositions by contemporary African-American composers at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra's 2010 "Classical Roots" concerts, which take place on Fri., Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. and Sat., Jan. 30 at 8:30 p.m. in Orchestra Hall at the Max M. Fisher Music Center.
Conducted by DSO Music Director Leonard Slatkin, the program will also include Lumina by celebrated composer Olly Wilson, and Beyond Rivers of Vision by James Lee III, a 34-year-old native of St. Joseph, Michigan.
