Christmas Broadcasts We were delighted to share two new television programs with you all this holiday season. Locally, WFAA aired our Christmas Pops on Christmas Eve, and globally, Bloomberg Media broadcasted A Holly Jolly Celebration which featured the DSO’s C-Suite Christmas. We were happy to share this holiday spirit with audiences around the world and close to home.

Terence Blanchard with the DSO Award-winning composer and jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard will join the DSO for two performances this February. The DSO will be the first orchestra to perform selections from Blanchard’s opera, Fire Shut Up in My Bones on February 8, 2023. We will also present an exciting evening of jazz with Blanchard’s band, the E-Collective and GRAMMY® Award-winning Turtle Island String Quartet on February 9, 2023.
