Talk:Detroit Symphony Orchestra

Untitled
Changed some obsolete information: (Jarvi no longer music director, Daughtery no longer composer-in-residence, etc) Needs more history as well as information on current affairs such as the Max Fisher Music Center. A selected Discography would be helpful as well. MarkBuckles 00:04, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I was involved in the re-building of Orchestra Hall (as architect's representative)in 2001-2003. Let me know if you have any questions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pbrigden (talk • contribs)

Regarding proposed merger
The article Detroit (orchestra) that has been proposed for merger with this article is being discussed on Talk:Montreal Symphony Orchestra. __meco 07:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I would like to strenuously register my opposition to this idea. This change will confuse people.  The recordings after all are by "Detroit Symphony Orchestra," not by "Detroit (orchestra)."

There are plenty of orchestras that might be called by the city and 'orchestra' with 'Symphony' dropped. However, Wikipedia has a strong tradition of sticking with traditional and official names.

We should stick with the official name, "Detroit Symphony Orchestra". Respectfully, Dogru144 23:37, 28 October 2006 (UTC) A symphony is separate and distinct from its symphony.Dogru144 06:04, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Hagiographic tone
I have toned down the PR-like and overly hagiographic tone of the prior version. It cannot be repeated often enough that the purpose of wikipedia is to present "just the facts" and not be a fan page for an organisation or person. DJRafe (talk) 18:28, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
