About the Detroit Repertory Theatre
Founded in 1957, the Detroit Repertory Theatre is Michigan’s oldest alternative professional theatre and a longtime cultural anchor in the city. For nearly seven decades, the Repertory has been known for producing thoughtful, socially relevant theatre while bringing people together through the arts. The theatre has also played an important role in the surrounding neighborhood—investing in its buildings and helping revitalize the area over the years. Today, the Detroit Repertory Theatre continues to welcome audiences from across Metro Detroit for performances that reflect the city’s creativity, diversity, and commitment to community.
About Mirrored Glass
Ackeem Salmon • Ahya Simone • Ariel Sol Featuring Ariel Sol, Featured Young Artist
This special performance brings together three harpists whose artistic voices reflect the evolving soundscape of Detroit and beyond. Rather than presenting the harp within a single tradition, this program explores the instrument as a meeting point for multiple musical lineages—classical, improvisational, experimental, and diasporic. Through original works, reinterpretations of iconic repertoire, and collaborative improvisation, the evening highlights the harp’s remarkable expressive range.
The concert also introduces elements of Pulse of the City, Mirrored Glass’s interdisciplinary initiative exploring connections between sound, technology, and community engagement. Throughout the program, audiences will experience moments where performance expands beyond the stage into shared creative participation.
Together, these three artists offer an evening that celebrates the harp not only as an instrument, but as a medium for storytelling, collaboration, and innovation.
