The DSO is delighted to present again our two annual Children’s Chorus concerts — one in the fall and one in spring. These popular performances, often in collaboration with musicians of the DSO, showcase the incredible talents and artistic excellence of the young singers, all under the baton of the Artistic Director of the DSCC, Ellie Lin.

Dallas Symphony Children’s Chorus Spring Recital

Riveting. Virtuosic. Diabolical. Daredevil. Terrifying. Words that describe both Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto and Walton’s first symphony. The critic Harold Schonberg laid out the requirements for playing Prokofiev’s landmark work: “Steel fingers, steel biceps, steel triceps — a tonal steel trust.” (“…feats of prestidigitation from Denis Kozhukhin… ferocious energy… the octave leaps cast off as dizzyingly as any high-wire act” [BachTrack]). Meanwhile, Walton’s work premiered to critical acclaim for its commanding artistry and unflinching use of the power of the orchestra. Hang on to your seats for this one!

Christmas Pops

Arguably, the most iconic choral work of the 20th century, Carmina Burana’s unforgettable opening, “O Fortuna,” has become a pop culture phenomenon. Based on medieval German poetry, Carmina Burana has it all: rhythmic and brooding choruses, lusty drinking songs, ballads cursing fickle lovers and gleaming paeans to love. Catulli Carmina brings all of the boldness and audacious storytelling its more famous sibling piece is know for to complete a program that will thrill and delight. Many may not have heard the Catulli Carmina, one of the two sequels Orff wrote to Carmina Burana, but, in a rare pairing, you will get to hear them both together as Orff intended with our four critically acclaimed soloists, the Dallas Symphony Chorus, the Dallas Symphony Children’s Chorus and the DSO.
