It could be argued that anyone who gets to see the Detroit Symphony Orchestra perform for free is a winner. In this instance, everyone who entered the Bloomfield Patch contest to see the DSO at the Jewish Community Center was a winner.

Patch users Ida A, Kathy B and KJ each won a pair of tickets to the show Thursday, as part of the DSO's Neighborhood Concert Series. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and features Joseph Silverstein as conductor and violinist. Pieces include Coriolan Overture and Symphony No. 2 (Beethoven) and Violin concerto No. 5 (Mozart).

To enter, these readers scoured the Bloomfield Patch Places directory and named three of the more than 600 places where they could receive professional services. Visit the directory to learn about local businesses, community centers and public buildings in the area and to write reviews.

Didn't get in the fun? Not to worry, the DSO is playing a variety of venues and dates throughout the area in its Neighborhood Concert Series, including Saturday night at Kirk in the Hills. More information on the shows and purchasing tickets can be found on the DSO website.
