The Whiting is a 2,043-seat performing arts venue located on the Flint Cultural Campus. The Whiting is home to the Flint Symphony Orchestra, Annual Holiday Pops, and hosts performing artists from around the world in music, theatre and dance, as well as serving as a locale for graduations, concerts and recitals, and other community events.
