DETROIT — Longing for the days of old when you could listen to smooth, live music while sitting outside in Detroit?
Soon, you can have it all back -- sort of -- on a smaller scale.
The Detroit Symphony Opera will resume its outdoor summer concert series with free pop-up performances.
Starting Aug. 5, the DSO will offer free, safe and live performances called Summer Session: DSO Outdoors.
All events will be outdoors, limited to 100 attendees, in accordance with state mandates, and everyone must wear masks and have temperature checks upon entry at Sosnick Courtyard.
Small groups of musicians will perform for limited audiences at DSO's Sosnick Courtyard (51 Parsons Street) as well as three Detroit Riverfront Conservancy venues: Robert C. Valade Park, the Dequindre Cut Freight Yard, and Gabriel Richard Park.
The first performance takes place Wednesday, Aug. 5 at Sosnick Courtyard (behind Orchestra Hall in downtown Detroit).
