The members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will flex their much- heralded gift of swing this January when they present a "Big Band Hit Parade" led by internationally acclaimed Pops conductor Erich Kunzel. These DTE Energy Foundation Pops Series concerts will include hits from "In the Mood" to "Sing, Sing, Sing" and will feature the dynamic young crooner Jeff Berger, who carries on the tradition of the great big band singers in his vocal stylings.

With more than 3,000 parolees reentering Detroit each year, Pastor Ronald Griffin of Rose of Sharon
Church of God in Christ wanted to do his part to help those former prisoners who want to help themselves.
