The Dallas Symphony Association is led by President and CEO Douglas Adams. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra, under the leadership of Music Director Jaap van Zweden, presents the finest in classical and pop music, new music and family and holiday concerts at the internationally heralded Morton H.

As the largest performing arts organization in the Southwest, the DSO is committed to the pursuit of uncompromising musical distinction through innovative and classical programming, seeking to enlighten and inspire the broadest possible audience. In fulfilling its commitment to the community, the DSO's involvement with the City of Dallas extends to educational programs, community concerts, complimentary ticket distribution and children's programming. The DSO has grown from a 40-person ensemble to a world-class orchestra since its inception in 1900, and continues to be the cornerstone of the burgeoning Arts District in downtown Dallas; a district now noted as the largest in the nation.
