The Dallas Symphony Orchestra League hosted parties and bow rehearsals for the 36th Annual Presentation Ball debutantes during the busy holiday season. Lisa and Clay Cooley hosted the holiday party in their elegant home on December 19th for the debutantes, honor guard and their families. The events lead up to the Presentation Ball to be held on February 12 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center where 48 debutantes will be presented. The event is the largest fundraiser for the League. 

“These events are so fun and enjoyed by all as the signature DSOL fundraiser,” said DSOL President Venise Stuart. “This ball has raised over $12 million in its 36 years. 100% of the net revenue goes towards the education and community outreach programs of the Dallas Symphony. It is truly rewarding in many ways.” 

The Honorary Chair of the ball is Sherwood Wagner. Elizabeth Gambrell is the Presentation Ball Chair. The party was chaired by Cynthia Beaird.
