Harry Potter™ At Meyerson Symphony Center

They also sit in the choral terrace of the Eugene McDermott Concert Hall at the Meyerson. Musicians perform in the middle of the state, the same format as that used in the popular “A Musician’s View” concert.
Kim Noltemy, Ross Perot President & CEO of Dallas Symphony Orchestra, said, “The DSO Musicians came to me about forming a new chamber music series. The annual A Musician’s View concert gave us the perfect blueprint for these performances. Being able to hear this music in an intimate setting is a real treat. These concerts will feel like you are in the middle of the performance.”
