A whole new season of concerts announced! How about that for returning to normal?
Unfortunately the Dallas Symphony's 21-22 season looks pretty pops-heavy and conservative. Beethoven 9 is back, the big concertos by Rach and Tchaik, all the usual hit parade. There is a big push for diversity but it's often mixed in to the pops, like a program of Coleridge-Taylor's Violin Concerto (Dallas premiere) coupled with...Bolero.
Some things that jump out to me:
September 16-19
Converse - The Mystic Trumpeter
Copland - Organ Symphony
Brahms - Symphony No. 1
Bradley Hunter Welch, organ
Fabio Luisi
September 23-26
Weber - Oberon overture
Joan Tower - Flute Concerto
R. Strauss - Aus Italien
David Buck, flute
Fabio Luisi
November 4-6
R. Strauss - Metamorphosen
Mozart - Requiem
Fabio Luisi + soloists
Is this the most depressing program ever??
January 13-14
Elgar - Violin Concerto
Hailstork - Epitaph for a Man Who Dreamed
Schumann - Symphony No 1
James Ehnes, violin
Fabio Luisi
January 20-23
Brahms - Piano Concerto No 1
Schmidt - Symphony No 4
Daniil Trifonov, piano
Fabio Luisi
April 28, 30, May 1
Mozart - Sinfonia concertante
Prokofiev - Symphony No. 6
Leonidas Kavakos, NOT violin - conductor!!! (soloists from the orchestra)

Some, to me at least, cool upcoming concerts (fast scan); so what will Leonidas Kavakos be conducting? :)
PD
The Copland Organ Symphony & the Prokofiev Sixth will be a blast live!
