The Dearborn Symphony invites audiences to experience an electrifying evening where symphonic music and movement come together in a vibrant, genre-spanning performance on Friday, February 6, 2026 at 7:30pm.
This dynamic concert blends classical masterworks, cinematic favorites, Broadway hits, and contemporary sounds, brought to life not only through music, but through live performances by dancers from the Downriver Dance Academy, choreographed by Spencer Genrich. Select works throughout the evening will be enhanced by choreography, adding a powerful visual dimension to the orchestra’s performance of Music That Moves.
The program moves effortlessly across styles and eras, from the jazzy pulse of Leonard Bernstein’s Times Square from On the Town and the magical Potter Waltz from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, to the lush lyricism of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. Audiences will also hear the infectious swing of Sing, Sing, Sing!, the sultry rhythms of Piazzolla’s Libertango, and highlights from Wicked.
After intermission, the orchestra dives into the colorful Spanish rhythms of Manuel de Falla’s Three Dances from The Three-Cornered Hat, before closing with the electrifying energy of Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2.
In addition to the concert, audiences are invited to participate in a pre-concert dance class led by Spencer Genrich, beginning at 6:30pm, offering a fun, interactive way to engage with the music and movement featured onstage.
Tickets for both the concert and the pre-concert dance class are available at dearbornsymphony.org.
