In Witness of Music, Alexander Suczek combs the archives and his memories to share intimate details of how Pro Musica Detroit outlasted the 19 other chapters that were established throughout the nation in the 1920s. Neither the Great Depression nor wartime nor changes in concert venues have veered the venerable concert society from its mission, which continues to this very day. Witness of Music is complete with details and reviews of many of its concerts and the impact the musicians and composers would later have on classical music on an international level. Likewise, The Witness of Music also recants the efforts of the many Detroit-area residents who volunteered to bring such talent to the community and leave their marks on an important slice of local cultural history. In addition to Suczek’s narration,  Witness of Music includes a full roster of composers, musicians, programs as well as board members who have served Pro Musica Detroit throughout the years.
