� REMEMBERING �

Donald&Gloria SchultzTonight, as you listen to the sounds of your Detroit Symphony Orchestra, we ask you to remember the generosity of Don and Gloria Schultz. Don and Gloria shared a lifelong love of music and were regular patrons of the DSO and Greenfield Village. Before they passed away, they named the DSO as one of several beneficiaries of their estate. While Don and Gloria are no longer with us, their legacy lives on. The DSO is pleased to dedicate the 2015 Salute to America Concert Series to their memory.

The DSO and The Henry Ford proudly dedicate this year’s Salute to America concerts to the memory of Donald and Gloria Schultz.

Hailed by The New York Times as “cutting edge,” the internationally acclaimed Detroit Symphony Orchestra is known for trailblazing performances, visionary maestros, collaborations with the world’s foremost musical artists and an unwavering commitment to Detroit. Esteemed conductor Leonard Slatkin, called “America’s Music Director” by the Los Angeles Times, became the 12th music director of the DSO during the 2008-09 season. Acclaimed conductor, arranger and trumpeter Jeff Tyzik serves as principal pops conductor, while celebrated trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard holds the Fred A. and Barbara M. Erb Jazz Creative Director Chair. The DSO’s performance schedule includes classical, pops, jazz, young people’s and neighborhood concerts and collaborations with chart-topping musicians from Smokey Robinson to Kid Rock. A commitment to broadcast innovation began in 1922, when the DSO became the first orchestra in the world to present a radio broadcast, and continues today with the free “Live from Orchestra Hall” webcast series. Making its home at historic Orchestra Hall at the Max M. Fisher Music Center, one of America’s most acoustically perfect concert halls, the DSO actively pursues a mission to impact and serve the community through music.

Henry Ford believed in learning by doing. He believed in the power of real things to inspire, inform and engage people in ways no image or description could do on its own. To prove his point, he set out to build a learning resource unlike anything the world has seen before or since. At the heart of his audacious, ambitious undertaking lived a vast collection of structures, artifacts, documents and narratives spanning 300 years of American history. The vision that laid the groundwork for The Henry Ford, the place where you discover your potential through America’s history, is now more than 80 years old — and vital as ever.

Today, through our 26 million artifacts, four one-of-a-kind attractions, research center and public high school, we are opening the door to our collections with more people in more ways than ever, bringing exciting new content to our on-site destination in Detroit as well as our online destination everywhere.

Gain perspective. Get inspired. Make history yourself. In ways large and small, you stand to make a difference, too.

Fourth of July is the quintessential American holiday. No single event defines us quite

like that day in 1776 when we declared our independence from the tyr-

anny of British rule. Small wonder that July 4 remains our most festive

public holiday: Parades, concerts, fireworks, ceremonial readings of the

Declaration of Independence — they have been mainstays of this most

American celebration for 239 years. Join us as The Henry Ford and the

Detroit Symphony Orchestra continue this tradition by proudly present-

ing the 23rd annual Salute to America concerts.
