This year is especially meaningful as the DSO celebrates its 125th Anniversary. The annual Symphony Gala is one of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s largest annual fundraisers, benefitting the DSO’s life-changing education and community outreach initiatives, including Young Strings and Young Musicians. These programs touch the lives of more than 243,000 North Texas residents annually, including more than 30,000 children.
