As summer approaches and the evenings grow warmer, residents of DFW looking for a free, family-friendly activity can attend the series of upcoming park concerts organized by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra will put on five concerts at various parks throughout the city this summer, per a news release.
Helmed by Italian conductor Fabio Luisi, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra usually performs at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in the Arts District.
But its outdoor concert series will kick off on Memorial Day, May 29, with the annual Flag Pole Hill concert.
Attendees can take in a wide repertoire of classical music pieces that will be followed by a fireworks display.
Be sure to arrive before the concert starts, which is at 8:15 p.m., in order to choose your preferred spot in the 100-acre park.
Other parks were selected for this year’s program based on their picturesque locations and excellent acoustics. The event promises to provide a unique experience for all.
After the Flag Pole Hill performance, another concert of the series will be held at Exall Park near downtown Dallas on June 1 at 8:15 p.m., per the news release.
The 10-acre venue will provide an excellent opportunity for families and friends to spend a relaxing evening enjoying music under the stars in the middle of the city.
On June 6, the concerts move north. Campbell Green Park will host the orchestra on its 17.5 acres of tranquil grounds starting at 8:15 p.m.
