## About

A cherished Dallas holiday musical tradition, Dallas Symphony Christmas Pops fills the acoustically pristine Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center with the joyful sounds of the season. Featuring the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the full Dallas Symphony Chorus, and guest vocal soloists, this uplifting concert presents timeless carols, holiday orchestral favorites, an indoor flurry of gentle snowflakes, and a festive audience sing-along.

For families with younger children, the symphony presents a dedicated one-hour 'Family Christmas with the DSO' concert on Saturday, December 12 at 11:00 AM. Specially designed for toddlers and elementary-school children, this shortened performance includes interactive musical storytelling, favorite carols, and a lobby visit from Santa Claus.
