The 2024-2025 season is Fabio Luisi’s fifth as the orchestra’s Music Director. He will lead the orchestra in ten concerts as part of the Texas Instruments Classical Series…. Luisi will lead the Dallas Symphony Orchestra as it becomes the first American orchestra in recent history to present an opera-in-concert version of Wagner’s epic Der Ring des Nibelungen in its entirety … The orchestra has commissioned and will present three world premieres, including pieces by Native American, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Raven Chacon; DSO composer-in-residence Sophia Jani, and Sean Shepherd. The orchestra will also present the U.S. premiere of Andrew Norman’s Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra … The season also includes Dallas premieres of Estonian composer Allison Kruusmaa’s Five Arabesques for Chamber Orchestra and Amy Beach’s Piano Concerto, in a program highlighting female musicians leading into the DSO’s sixth annual Women in Classical Music Symposium; film composer Kris Bowers’ For a Younger Self …; and Arlene Sierra’s new work, Kiskadee, which was commissioned by the League of American Orchestras with the generous support of the Virginia B.
