During the summer of 2026, Akropolis returns to its home base of Detroit to run the Together We Sound Festival New Music Festival. From Monday, May 4 to Friday, May 8, 2026, they will collaborate with local and national artists as well as Detroit youth, featuring concerts by the Detroit High School Composers as part of Akropolis’s school year-length residency at MLK High School, Detroit School of Arts and Cass Tech High School. Since 2017, Akropolis has helped over 50 Detroit high school students to compose music, resulting in more than 10 new commissions this academic year.
