Caption: The Detroit Symphony Orchestra inaugurated the Meadow Brook Music Festival in 1964 with 12 classical symphonic concerts.Two years later there were 35 classical symphonic concerts.This summer the DSO is back to 12.Who says history doesn't repeat itself?To be entirely accurate, the DSO's classical symphonic concert series, currently dubbed the Chrysler Concert Series because of support from the automaker, lists 14 concerts. But the two additional ones feature song stylist Micahel Feinstein crooning pop tunes by Gershwin, Berlin Rodgers, so they really don't qualify as classical symphonic concerts.
The front and back of this photograph are pictured below.
