Dallas, Texas (January 13, 2023) – The Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Ross Perot President & CEO Kim Noltemy and Music Director Fabio Luisi (Louise W. & Edmund J. Kahn Music Directorship) today announced an upcoming three-city tour of the U.S. East Coast. In March, the DSO and Luisi will visit Boston’s Symphony Hall (March 24); New York’s Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall (March 26); and Woolsey Hall on the Yale University Campus in New Haven, Connecticut, performing Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 5 and opening the program with What keeps me awake by DSO’s composer-in-residence Angélica Negrón (March 28). In Boston and New York, Garrick Ohlsson will join the DSO for Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2. The Dallas Symphony’s Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall appearance is generously supported by Linda and Mitch Hart.

Tickets will be available on Friday, January 13, 2023, and may be purchased on the venues’ websites.

“I am very excited to present our orchestra to audiences in Boston, New York and New Haven,” said Luisi. “We have done incredible work together here in Dallas since the beginning of my tenure in 2020, and I look forward to sharing the sound we have developed with music-lovers outside of our home.”

“We are thrilled to perform in these incredible venues and bring the music we enjoy week after week in Dallas to audiences in Boston, New York and New Haven,” added Linda Hart. 

Marking the first time the orchestra has toured since spring of 2013, the East Coast tour dates also represent the first time the DSO has appeared under Luisi’s direction outside of North Texas. The Carnegie Hall performance will be Luisi’s first in New York since 2016 and the first time the DSO and Luisi have appeared at Boston’s Symphony Hall.

“These appearances mark the return of the DSO’s touring activities,” said Noltemy. “We are thrilled to have performances planned nationally and internationally in the upcoming seasons.”

SOBRE LA ORQUESTA SINFÓNICA DE DALLAS
La Orquesta Sinfónica de Dallas, bajo el liderazgo del Director Musical Fabio Luisi, presenta música orquestal de clase mundial en el Centro Sinfónico Morton H. Meyerson, una de las salas de conciertos mejor valoradas del mundo. Como la mayor organización de artes escénicas del suroeste, la DSO se compromete a inspirar al mayor número posible de personas con programas clásicos distintivos, conciertos pop inventivos y presentaciones multimedia innovadoras. En cumplimiento de su compromiso con la comunidad, la orquesta llega anualmente a más de 243.000 adultos y niños a través de actuaciones, programas educativos e iniciativas de alcance comunitario. Durante la pandemia, la Sinfónica de Dallas fue una de las pocas orquestas importantes de EE.UU. que presentó conciertos con público en directo durante la temporada 2020/21. Además, la orquesta ha ofrecido más de 200 conciertos de cámara al aire libre en barrios de todo el Metroplex desde el verano. La DSO continuó con las clases de música en línea a más de 300 estudiantes como parte de sus programas de Cuerdas Jóvenes y Jóvenes Músicos.

La Sinfónica de Dallas ha utilizado los medios digitales y de radiodifusión para compartir la música más allá de sus fronteras geográficas y se ha convertido en líder entre las orquestas estadounidenses en la distribución digital. En 2021, la DSO presentó una serie de transmisiones de tres conciertos con Bloomberg Media, llegando a más de 4 millones de espectadores en todo el mundo. En octubre de 2021, las emisoras de PBS de todo el país empezaron a emitir One Symphony, Two Orchestras, un programa que documentaba el histórico concierto de la Primera Sinfonía de Mahler con la DSO y los músicos de The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra en mayo de 2021. Ese programa fue nominado para un Daytime Emmy Award en mayo de 2022. La DSO también captura y transmite las actuaciones de los conciertos para su distribución en línea a través de su Next Stage Digital Concert Series, Presented by PNC Bank. Los programas están disponibles en el sitio web de la DSO en watch.dallassymphony.org.

La DSO tiene una tradición que se remonta a 1900 y es una piedra angular del exclusivo distrito artístico de 118 acres del centro de Dallas, que alberga múltiples salas de artes escénicas, museos y parques, el mayor distrito de este tipo en el país. La DSO se financia, en parte, con fondos de la Oficina de Arte y Cultura de la ciudad de Dallas.

ABOUT FABIO LUISI
GRAMMY® Award-winning conductor Fabio Luisi launched his tenure as Louise W. & Edmund J. Kahn Music Director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra (DSO) at the start of the 2020/21 season. In January 2021, the DSO and Luisi announced an extension of his contract through the 2028/29 season. A maestro of major international standing, the Italian conductor has embarked on his sixth season as Principal Conductor of the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, and in September 2022 he assumed the role of Principal Conductor of the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Tokyo. He previously served for six seasons as Principal Conductor of the Metropolitan Opera and nine seasons as General Music Director of the Zurich Opera.

In September 2022, Luisi and the Dallas Symphony released their first recording project together, Brahms’s First and SecondSinfonías, which is available through the DSO’s in-house DSO Live label. Fabio Luisi’s ongoing 2022/23 programs in Dallas and for the DSO’s Next Stage Digital Concert Series will feature performances of the music of beloved classical composers, a continued examination of American music, and large-scale choral and orchestral works. Highlights include performance concert program of three female composers – Julia Perry, Clara Schumann and Louise Farrenc – that preceded the fourth annual Women in Classical Music Symposium last fall; Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, which marked the first time during his tenure that Luisi had presented Bruckner; and the upcoming world premiere of DSO composer-in-residence Angélica Negrón’s new work, Arquitecta featuring Colombian singer Lido Pimienta.

Other highlights of the 2022/23 season include several concerts with the NHK Symphony Orchestra (Tokyo) in his first season as Principal Conductor; a new production of Verdi’s I vespri siciliani at La Scala (Milan); and the continuation, with the Danish National Symphony Orchestra, of his recorded series of Carl Nielsen’s symphonies for the renowned Deutsche Grammophon label.

El director de orquesta recibió su primer premio GRAMMY® en marzo de 2013 por su dirección de las dos últimas óperas de Wagner El anillo de los nibelungosCuando la edición en DVD de Deutsche Grammophon del ciclo completo, grabado en directo en el Met, fue nombrada mejor grabación de ópera de 2012. En febrero de 2015, la Philharmonia Zurich lanzó su sello Philharmonia Records con tres grabaciones de Luisi: Berlioz Symphonie fantastiqueun doble álbum que repasa los Preludios e Interludios de Wagner, y un DVD de la obra de Verdi Rigoletto. Subsequent releases have included a survey of Rachmaninov’s Four Piano Concertos and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini with soloist Lise de la Salle, and a rare recording of the original version of Bruckner’s monumental Symphony No. 8. Luisi’s extensive discography also includes rare Verdi operas (Jérusalem, Alzira y Aroldo), la de Salieri La locandiera, Bellini's Yo puritani y I Capuleti e I Montecchi with Anna Netrebko and Elīna Garanča for Deutsche Grammophon, and the symphonic repertoire of Honegger, Respighi and Liszt. He has recorded the oratorio Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln by neglected Austrian composer Franz Schmidt, as well as that composer’s complete symphonies; several works by Richard Strauss for Sony Classical; and an award-winning account of Bruckner’s Ninth Symphony with the Staatskapelle Dresden.

Born in Genoa in 1959, Luisi began piano studies at the age of four and received his diploma from the Conservatorio Niccolò Paganini in 1978. He later studied conducting with Milan Horvat at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Graz. Named both Cavaliere della Repubblica Italiana and Commendatore della Stella d’Italia for his role in promoting Italian culture abroad, in 2014 he was awarded the Grifo d’Oro, the highest honor given by the city of Genoa, for his contributions to the city’s cultural legacy. Off the podium, Luisi is an accomplished composer whose Saint Bonaventure Mass received its world premiere at St. Bonaventure University, followed by its New York City premiere in the MetLiveArts series, with the Buffalo Philharmonic and Chorus. As reported by the New York Times, CBS Sunday Morning and elsewhere, he is also a passionate maker of perfumes, which he produces in a one-person operation, flparfums.com.
