The Detroit Opera House witnessed a historic musical fusion this week as funk legend George Clinton joined forces with the Detroit Opera Orchestra for 'Symphonic P-Funk.' The 84-year-old maestro led a full string and horn section through legendary tracks like 'Flash Light' and 'One Nation Under a Groove.' Arranged and conducted by Ray Chew, the performance marked the first time Clinton’s iconic repertoire has been fully orchestrated. Fans from across the tri-county area filled the theater to witness the 'Mothership' land in a classical setting, proving that Detroit’s musical innovation remains as boundary-pushing as ever.
