DSO-TCC performed as one
The Turtle Creek Chorale and Dallas Symphony Orchestra performed together for the first time on Sept. 19, 2023. (Jeremy Holland/Dallas Voice) Sean Baugh entered the stage cool and calm as if this was just another Dallas Symphony-Turtle Creek Chorale collaboration.
Accompanist Scott Ayers sat down at the piano composed — all as if this was just another performance with the DSO. Instead, it was an historic event for the Dallas arts community — the first time the two groups had performed together — and hopefully not the last.
And I’m not the only one who would like to see this become an annual event judging by the nearly sold-out symphony center and the rousing standing ovations throughout the concert.
The 200 men’s voices blended beautifully with the full orchestra and the finale, with TCC accompanist Scott Ayers on the Lay Family organ, had the audience screaming for more.
