In September 1989, \u201cI was part of an international contingent of music, architecture and travel writers at the opening of architect I.M. Pei\u2019s first\u2014and ultimately only\u2014symphony hall. Pei\u2019s death on May 16, at age 102, brings back those memories. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra was rehearsing for one of the Meyerson\u2019s inaugural concerts\u2026. Even through the construction clatter, the musical sound was almost unimaginably rich and spacious. It was immediate in impact, but with a glorious glow of reverberation. Thirty years later, week after week, I still marvel at the acoustics\u2026. The interior of the lobby is an elegant\u2014dare one say musical?\u2014counterpoint of curves\u2026. The Meyerson\u2019s spectacular sonic success is thanks to an equal partnership between Pei and his colleagues and Artec Consultants, the acoustical-design firm headed by the late Russell Johnson.\u2026 Sadly, extensive water damage visible on the Meyerson\u2019s lobby ceilings is only the most obvious evidence of years of inadequate maintenance by the city. Let\u2019s hope this landmark building gets far better care now that the DSO is taking over its management.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Posted May 29, 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI\u2019ll never forget the first sounds I heard in the Meyerson Symphony Center,\u201d writes Scott Cantrell in Thursday\u2019s (5\/23) <em>Dallas Morning News<\/em>&#8230;.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"topic":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ode to architect I.M.
