New Texas Symphony Orchestra

The New Texas Symphony Orchestra is the Premier Community Orchestra of Dallas. Located in proximity to the vibrant Dallas Performing Arts district, this civic orchestra provides both performers and audiences inspired opportunities to play and enjoy great symphonic music.

The orchestra is led by Conductor and Artistic Director Kathryn D. “Cathy” Brown, who is the founder of the NTSO and who has been active in the local performing arts community for years.

We are an all-volunteer, non-profit performing arts group. We have stepped out on the stage of the Dallas music community as a newly incorporated entity and 501©(3) accredited organization. Without the contributions of our many supporters, patrons and players alike, the music of the NTSO would not be heard. This is your opportunity to help us make a noise in the Dallas music community! Become a donor to the New Texas Symphony Orchestra through the NTSO CRESCENDO Capital Campaign.

Please help us make our music be heard by sending a secured credit card payment through this website or mailing you donation to:
