While the DSO welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Meyerson each year for its captivating performances, ticket sales alone do not provide the necessary resources to operate a world-class orchestra. This North Texas Giving Day, the DSO is grateful for the community’s support to ensure the DSO can continue to reach new heights in musical accessibility and achievement.
A cornerstone of the Arts District in downtown Dallas, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra is an irreplaceable, vibrant part of the cultural fabric of the city. The DSO presents more than 150 orchestra concerts each season at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and is committed to inspiring the broadest possible audience with distinctive classical programs, inventive pops concerts and innovative multi-media presentations.
Whether it’s a first-time concertgoer or a longtime subscriber, the Dallas Symphony is an organization accessible to all people: a place for a night with the family or a special date night; a place for students to belong or adults to learn; a place to celebrate or seek comfort. The DSO is a place for the entire North Texas community.
Programs like DSO Cares, which brings musicians of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra directly to hospitals, senior living facilities, schools for disadvantaged children, and communities throughout the Dallas area, allow the power of music to travel beyond the Meyerson to those who need it most.
The DSO’s programs have removed the barriers to music education and in their place provide access and opportunities to those who would otherwise go without. Through opportunities like Young Strings and the Kim Noltemy Young Musicians programs, the DSO provides more than musical education experiences: it paves the way for future artists, leaders and world citizens, well-equipped for their future.
Named for the founder and first conductor of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the Hans Kreissig Legacy Society recognizes and honors donors whose estate plans or wills include gifts designated to the Orchestra. These funds help support the high-quality music, education and community programs for future generations. For more information about how to include the DSO in your will or estate plans, please contact Toni Miller, CAP®, Managing Director of Development, at 214-871-4078 or t.miller@dalsym.com.
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra (DSO) is one of the world’s most respected orchestras and is central to Dallas’s cultural and social identity as a vibrant international city. Serving more than 240,000 people each season, the DSO continues to perform at the highest level of artistry and excellence on stage at the Meyerson, around the community and in broadcasts that are shared around the world.
The DSO is committed to Dallas. Support of the Dallas Symphony is an investment not only in great music, but also in a great city. Through innovative and diverse programming, the DSO continues to reach new heights of musical and community achievement, drawing international attention and new audiences to Dallas.
The DSO pledges an organization-wide commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. This organization-wide commitment is advanced by working alongside the residents of our community to ensure that the DSO is representative of and accessible to all citizens of Dallas.
As part of our ongoing objective to further deepen our existing Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion initiatives, the DSO is proud to continue initiatives like the Diversity Fellowship and Women in Classical Music Symposium.
