$22,222 Goal
As we celebrate our 22nd season and the hiring of our new Artistic Director and Conductor, Dr. Michelle Perrin Blair, we’ve set an ambitious goal of raising $22,222 to continue our mission of making music accessible to everyone. We’ve raised $16,222 so far, so help us close the gap and reach our goal!
FREE for ALL
For 22 years, the New Texas Symphony Orchestra has been committed to making music free and accessible for all — audiences and musicians alike. Through our “FREE for ALL” initiative, we ensure that every performance is free and accessible to the public, breaking down barriers and welcoming everyone to experience the joy of music.
But that’s not all. Our musicians perform in a professional-like setting without being charged dues or fees. Your support helps us provide this incredible opportunity for musicians from all walks of life to share their talent and passion for music with the community.
By donating to the NTSO, you’re not just supporting free concerts; you’re investing in the artists who make them possible.
Join us in celebrating the arts during the “North Texas Gives to the Arts” campaign from April 16-30, 2026. Together, we can make a lasting impact!
Sunday, May 17, 3:00 p.m. | Moody Performance Hall
Our season concludes with a heartfelt celebration of the musical traditions and cultural legacies that shape our world. Join us for an inspiring finale featuring Maria Grenfell's jubilant Fanfare for a City, Alexander Glazunov's lyrical Alto Saxophone Concerto with guest artist Roy Allen from the Dallas Winds, and Antonín Dvořák's beloved Symphony No. 9 "From the New World," a masterwork that honors the rich tapestry of American musical heritage. From Australia to America, from classical tradition to jazz innovation, this concert pays tribute to the diverse voices and timeless beauty that connect us all.
Saturday, May 30, 7:00 p.m. | Interfaith Peace Chapel - Cathedral of Hope
Join us as we conclude our 22nd season with an inspiring chamber concert on Saturday, May 30th, at 7:00 PM in the beautiful Interfaith Peace Chapel at the Cathedral of Hope. Designed by the world-renowned architect Philip Johnson, the Interfaith Peace Chapel is a stunning, modern architectural masterpiece. It is celebrated for its organic design and serene atmosphere. Its intimate setting and flowing lines create a space that fosters reflection, connection, and inspiration, making it the perfect venue for an evening of uplifting music. We look forward to sharing this special performance with you.

The mission of the NTSO is to enrich the greater Dallas communities. We offer inspiration and entertainment by connecting the patrons of North Texas with live symphonic music.
Our vision is to perform dynamic music that inspires and educates the community at large while nurturing the musicianship of the orchestra players.
Like many performing arts organizations, the New Texas Symphony Orchestra is feeling the impact of ongoing funding cuts and reduced support for the arts. Your gift during North Texas Giving Day helps us cover essential costs—such as performance hall rentals, music licensing, and guest artist fees—so our volunteer musicians can continue to thrive, perform, and connect with audiences of all ages.
In 2019, we launched our “Free Concerts for ALL” initiative, making every performance free and accessible to the public. This commitment, along with diverse and inclusive programming, has helped us better reflect and serve the vibrant North Texas community. Every dollar you give supports programs that bring people together, nurture musicianship, and celebrate the joy of live music.
The New Texas Symphony Orchestra (NTSO) is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all. This includes our staff, volunteers, patrons, board, and all stakeholders. We strive to ensure that everyone is respected, valued and appreciated regardless of their race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, abilities or disabilities, religious beliefs, or any other factor. We are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming space where everyone can be their authentic selves.
