DETROIT: Concert of Colors 7/17-7/20 FREE admission!

The Concert of Colors takes place July 17th-July 20th, 2008 and is metro Detroit’s free annual diversity music festival. It is presented by ACCESS/Arab American National Museum, New Detroit Inc. and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (DSO) with the goal of bringing together metro Detroit’s diverse communities and ethnic groups by presenting musical acts from around the world. Over its 15-year history, the festival has become a beloved highlight of metro Detroit’s summer festival season.

This year's Forum on Community, Culture, and Race entitled "The Rhythm That Beats In All of Us" takes on a different format in its third year focusing on drummers from the different ethnic communities in the Detroit area. The Forum opens at the Music Box in the Max M. Fisher Music Center, 3711 Woodward Avenue, in Detroit, on Friday morning, July 18, 2008.
