New Year's Resolution - See More Shows!

What's your resolution for the New Year? Why not resolve to visit the Auditorium for some of our exciting upcoming events?

Over the next few months we'll see the 5th year of Too Hot to Handel, the return of Orbert Davis and his Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, the colorful excitement of Ballet Folklorico de Mexico, the beauty of the Tchaikovsky Ballet Theatre's Sleeping Beauty and the stunning artistry of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, plus a visit from Annie and the magic of the Joffrey's Cinderella!

Auditorium Memories

We recently celebrated the Auditorium's 120th birthday and invited attendees to share their favorite Auditorium memories!

Listen to some "Too Hot" interviews

Our Too Hot to Handel stars have been busy! They performed Too Hot in Detroit last weekend and have been promoting both the Detroit and Chicago engagements on the radio.

Over in Detroit, WRCJ's John Penney interviewed soloist Rodrick Dixon, conductor Suzanne Acton and bass player Marion Hayden on "JazzFest Detroit."

Here at home, Rod and fellow soloists Alfreda Burke and Karen Marie Richardson chatted with Mike Jeffers on Avenue 950.

Stay tuned for more radio interviews, including WFMT, as well as a TV appearance after the New Year!

Blog from Too Hot Choir Member

"What's a Jewish Atheist doing singing Handel's Messiah?" Too Hot Choir member Samantha Hoffman tells why she's so excited to be singing Too Hot to Handel at her blog. We'll be hearing from other Too Hot choir members in the coming month, so stay tuned!
