Carolyn Striho will perform at The Whitney in Detroit, Michigan on July 23, 2026. Striho is a contemporary instrumental composer and performer whose work blends elements of jazz, classical, and world music traditions. Her compositions often feature layered textures created through electric harp, looping techniques, and extended range instrumentation, resulting in atmospheric and evocative soundscapes. She frequently incorporates improvisation within structured arrangements.

The Whitney is a historic mansion located in the Midtown neighborhood of Detroit. Originally built in 1894 for David Whitney Jr., a lumber baron prominent during Detroit’s gilded age, the building showcases late 19th-century architectural styles including Romanesque Revival and Italian Renaissance influences. It remained a private residence until 1959 when it was sold and subsequently operated as a restaurant and event space.

The building underwent extensive restoration in the early 2000s to address structural issues and preserve its original features. Today, The Whitney functions primarily as an event venue hosting weddings, corporate gatherings, and performances while maintaining many of its original opulent details like marble floors, stained glass windows, and elaborate woodwork. It is recognized on the National Register of Historic Places.
