The Detroit Symphony Orchestra is an example of an orchestra that has had its share of difficulties. On top of many of the usual problems faced by orchestras, the DSO has had to figure out how to be successful in a run down city. Just months ago the Detroit Symphony Orchestra cut the ribbon on a new performing arts complex called the Max M Fisher Music Center. "The Max" includes the orchestra's historic concert hall, an education center, and a new performance space.
