MLK is one of the 3 Detroit @detroitk12 high schools we’ve been in residence at since 2017. In our residency, we visit each band class throughout year and help students compose music. Today we premiered 3 imaginative new works by MLK students Daouda Kane, Jason Dyer, and Reece Lillard. 👏👏👏 Bravo to these three students, and stay tuned for recordings of these pieces later this summer!

Plus, a BIG thank you to our guest bass clarinetist Shannon Orme @crank_adventures of the @detroitsymphony for playing with us this week while Andrew recovers from a knee surgery. 🏥 Send Andrew some good recovery vibes!
