Knight Foundation Celebrates 1,000 Random Acts of Culture!

By Travis Wright

Tomorrow afternoon, more than 150 singers, musicians, dancers, and other creative performers will help the Knight Foundation celebrate their one-thousandth “Random Act of Culture” with a somewhat impromptu performance at the Compuware Headquarters in downtown Detroit.

The Knight Foundation’s Vice President of arts, Dennis Scholl, says these on-going pop-up performances are meant to remind us that symphonic music and dance is socially essential.

There will be a performance of “Ode to Joy” tomorrow afternoon at noon in the lobby of the Compuware World Headquarters at One Campus Martius in downtown Detroit.
