Christmas Concert

Every Christmas for the past three or four years our family has gifted each other with a special night out at a concert of some kind. Last year we saw/heard the Trans Siberian Orchestra. This year it was the Dallas Symphony Orchestra's "Stories of Christmas: A Christmas Celebration." The evening at the Meyerson featured the Dallas Symphony Orchestra (DSO), Chorus, and--of special interest to our daughter--the Children's Choir.

My assessment: Spectacular.

The night featured the amazing soloist Angela Simpson. We heard a variety of Christmas music from around the world, enjoyed many old favorites, and even got to sing along at one point. My voice was much improved by the sound of the DSO in the background, let me tell you. For good reason this year's show is touted as one of the "Top 10 Holiday Concerts in America."

If you live in Dallas, you still have a few more nights (and matinees) to catch this don't-miss event. Call 214.871.4550 for tickets. Groups discounts are available for groups of ten or more.
