There is free classical music for your ears this spring via the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, who will perform a Spring Community Concerts series of chamber music concerts in the Dallas Arts District from March through May.

Each performance will feature a small ensemble of DSO musicians or musicians from the Kim Noltemy Young Musicians program and will be free and open to the public.

The concerts will take place at two locations:

• McIntyre Park, on the west side of the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center
• Klyde Warren Park, at 2012 Woodall Rodgers Fwy.

Programming will include appearances by a brass quintet, a string quartet, and a woodwind quintet, for you clarinet fans.

McIntyre Park will also host performances by student ensembles from the DSO’s Kim Noltemy Young Musicians program, alongside an interactive “instrument petting zoo” where guests of all ages are invited to learn about – and try out – the instruments of the orchestra.

Klyde Warren will host the DSO’s “Symphony Sundays” with two free concerts, featuring a woodwind quintet and a brass quintet. In addition to Symphony Sundays, a percussion ensemble from the Young Musicians program will make a special appearance at KERA’s Kidfest at Klyde Warren Park on April 21 at 1 pm.

In the event of inclement weather, the DSO may cancel the concerts, so be sure to check the DSO’s website and social media channels before heading out.

"The DSO invites everyone to join us for these special free performances at Klyde Warren Park and Shirley & Bill McIntyre Park this spring," says Kim Noltemy, Ross Perot President & CEO of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. "We always look forward to sharing music with our community both here at Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, and beyond. We hope to see you soon!"
