- Description
- This is the location of Orchestra Hall, a concert hall built in 1919 to house the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. In 1941, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra moved out and this concert hall became known as Paradise Theater, which primarily presented jazz musicians. The Paradise closed in 1951 and the building was vacant for decades until it was renovated and reopened. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra moved back into Orchestra Hall in 1989. Orchestra Hall is now part of the Max M. and Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center.
