Last night as most folks sweated in the first day of August, the 2016 Dallas Symphony Orchestra Gala hierarchy looked cool as they were updated at the Meyerson on plans for the Friday, September 16, black- tie reception, dinner, concert and after-party. More about the announcement party in days to come, but for now here’s the news that was revealed.

According to Gala Co-Chairs Marena and Roger Gault, unlike years past there will be no official theme. It’s just gonna be a heck of a lot of fun and a heck of lot of fine music, thanks to DSO Music Director Jaap Van Zweden and evening headliner pianist Lang Lang.

As for the décor, it’s still a work in process. There were three examples of what just might be the finished product. But word has it that the black tablecloths are a probable winner. The clear chairs have proven to be in the lead, too.

Nobody was talking about the menu, since the tasting had just been held earlier in the day. And that’s a story in itself. But more about that later.

With Honorary Chair pretty-in-pink Sherwood Wagner and Underwriting Co-Chairs Margaret and Barry Hancock and Kristi Hoyl looking on with big smiles, it was also revealed that despite not having a title sponsor this year, ticket sales are ahead of last year. In fact, they’ve already reached 88 percent of their goal. One insider confidently predicted that the evening will be a sell-out.
