Savor the Symphony A Candlelight Tribute to Rodgers and Hammerstein is presented by The Compass School of Texas and benefits the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League, which is celebrating its 80th Anniversary.
Chaired by Reagan Pace, Sheridan Reeder and Sunie Solomon, with honorary chairs Laurie Sands Harrison and her daughters Caroline Harrison Loehr, Francis Brito Harrison, Bailey Harrison and Hassie Harrison, the black-tie dinner happens on Thursday, November 6, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. Claire Catrino is president of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League.
A Candlelight Tribute to Rodgers and Hammerstein will celebrate one of the greatest melodic and lyrical partnerships of all time with both a string and piano performance to capture the magnificent music of a generation. Guests will be treated to a cocktail reception, live auction, and a candlelit seated dinner while enjoying the musicians who will be performing amidst the glow of over three thousand candles. This will be an enchanted evening not to be missed.

- The Kim Noltemy Young Musicians and Young Strings programs, which annually provide free instruments and instruction to 400 children primarily from Southern and East Dallas. Collectively, these programs have served more than 6,800 students and outpace similar youth programs with highly intensive training and a 100% high school graduation and college acceptance rate.
- Bach’s Lunch, an ongoing adult education series of free, informal talks designed to connect music lovers through a shared passion for classical music.
