The Dallas Symphony Orchestra (DSO) announced this week its annual Symphony Gala on Saturday, Sept. 26, a signature fundraising celebration and the organization’s largest philanthropic event of the year. Blending world-class music, glamour and community support, the black-tie event benefits the DSO’s mission of inspiring and changing lives through musical excellence, including their transformative education and community outreach initiatives. The 2026 Symphony Gala at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center will be headlined by special guest Idina Menzel (pictured), the acclaimed Broadway, film and recording artist whose legendary performances in “Rent,” “Wicked” and “Frozen” have captivated audiences around the world. The Symphony Gala directly supports the DSO’s performances and education and community initiatives, bringing music to more than 200,000 adults and children annually.
