- Well, the weekend is nearly here and there's so much going on in and around the city that you can check out.

On Friday and Saturday, you can experience a night at the Esterhazy Palace with a Valencia Baritone project.

They're performing in Bloomfield Hills and Ann Arbor this weekend.

The group was formed with a vision of performing the nearly 160 works written by Franz Joseph Hyden for this ancient instrument called the Baritone.

And now through Saturday at the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Maestro Jader Bignamini conducts Stravinsky's Firebird Suite with violinist Ana Kiko Myers.

She's going to join the orchestra in the Fandango, by Arturo Marquez.

And by the way, that concert is going to be broadcast on WRCJ Friday morning.

Now, more on the classical front, on Sunday, April 2nd organist James Kibbie continues his performances of the complete Oregon works of Johan Sabastian Bach on the campus of the University of Michigan.

And we've got jazz coming up, Saturday, April 1st pianist and guitarist Damon Terrell is performing at the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe.

Two shows.

6:30 and 9:00PM.

And for those of you that love the blues Saturday night, you wanna be at the Fox Theater because we've got the 2023 Motor City Blues Festival.

This is the 15th annual concert this year presenting King George Calvin Richardson, Ronnie Bell other legendary blues performers.

So there you have it, jazz, classical, the blues.

There's so much metro Detroit has to offer.

I'm Dave Wagner with WRCJ.

Here's more of what's happening ahead.

Hope you have a great weekend.
