The Dallas Symphony Orchestra (DSO) holds its Christmas Pops concert at the Meyerson Symphony Center with James Loh conducting. A performance is held every day between Dec. 2 and Dec. 11, 2022, except Wednesdays. Two performances are held on both Saturdays and Sundays. The event is a beloved annual tradition that features the DSO performing anthems, Christmas classics, and sing-along carols. Tickets start at $38 and go as high as $219 for a loge box. The closer you are to the stage, the more expensive the ticket.

The event is a popular one, and tickets sell out the closer it gets to the performance dates. Going to see the DSO perform its Christmas Pops event is a family tradition for many. The performances are tight and professional, as well as warm and uplifting. Each performance lasts an hour, which is perfect for families with younger children who can’t sit for long periods of time. Everyone gets to enjoy the music, be introduced to the beauty of an orchestral performance, and visit Santa in the lobby after the performance.
