College & Beyond

Richland college Enrichment series
A Century of Symphonies: July 19-August 2 (Mondays, from 1:30-3pm)
The past 100 years has seen an explosion of symphonic music that has forever altered the definition of the art form. This course will take a close look at some of the game-changing music by such masters as Mahler, Bartok, Messiaen, Shostakovich, Samuel Barber, and John Adams. Along the way, we will also examine the role that the DSO has played (and continues to play) in shaping the symphony of today.
Presenter: Jamie Allen, DSO Director of Education

Laugh and learn with the most knowledgeable music experts in the North Texas area (as well as a few surprise visitors) as they share the stories behind the music. These lively and educational presentations begin one hour before every Dallas Symphony Classical Series performance in Horchow Hall, located behind the box office on the lower level of the Meyerson Symphony Center. Performance Preludes are sponsored by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Guild.
