DETROIT -

Thanks to a $400,000 grant from the GM Foundation, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra is headed south for the winter.

The orchestra, led by Music Director Leonard Slatkin, will perform with Grammy Award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn and Van Cliburn International Piano Competition Gold Medalist Olga Kern during a tour of Southern Florida that will take place from Feb. 25 to March 4, 2014.

Over the last decade, the GM Foundation has donated more than $84 million to support Detroit nonprofit organizations and cultural institutions, including nearly $2 million to help the DSO bring its performances to Detroit, and to New York's Carnegie Hall where the orchestra performed in May 2013.

"The GM Foundation is committed to showcasing the best of Detroit to stakeholders across the country," said GM Foundation President Vivian Pickard. "The DSO is one of the city's finest jewels and this tour will build upon Detroit's national reputation of having the finest musicians and live entertainment."
