“Two years after a debilitating strike pushed the Detroit Symphony Orchestra to the brink of its storied existence, the band is back.

Next month, it will return to New York’s Carnegie Hall after a 17-year hiatus, signaling a revival through hard work and innovation that could be subtitled DSO 2.0.”
