We are fortunate to have so many incredible talents here for the weekend. Whether you’re joining us for the Summer Wine Down Celebrity Chefs’ Dinner; BBQ, Bourbon & Beer Tasting; or the Symphony of Flavors Grand Tasting, we have a sampling of the best Dallas has to offer. We are also pleased to be able to offer a seminar in wine with the famed glassmaker Riedel, a whiskey seminar and a chocolate seminar. And just like the range of great food at the festival, the DSO will present a sampling of incredible music this concert season. From grand classical works conducted by Music Director Fabio Luisi to movies-in-concert, from jazz to the festive tradition of holiday concerts, the DSO will present something for everyone. We hope you enjoy the festival, and that you are inspired to return to a performance at the Meyerson!

Welcome to the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s annual Wine & Food Festival. The musical and culinary arts have so much in common. The blending of flavors is similar to the blending of harmonies. In my time with the DSO, I have had so many great dining experiences here in Dallas, and it seemed natural to bring those two worlds together here at the Meyerson.
