Pulcinella is a reflection of what is possible when artists and organizations come together. It is not only about supporting one another on stage, but what happens when a community shows up and supports the work behind it. When audiences attend performances like this, it helps sustain the artists, the organizations, and the future of the arts in North Texas. We encourage you to take part. Go see a ballet, a musical, or a play and be part of something. Watch the full video on YouTube. #supportthearts #dallasarts #localartists #classicalmusic #community

Did you know WRR 101.1 FM is the only classical music radio station in North Texas? Peggy Carr’s story is part of a larger legacy, as she is the daughter-in-law of Sis Carr, one of the founders of Friends of WRR. Through WRR, listeners can experience 24 hours of classical music while supporting artists and programs rooted in the North Texas community. #dallasarts #classicalmusic #wrr101 #community #supportthearts

Even after months of preparation, there is still a moment of discovery on stage. For the artists behind Pulcinella, the full picture does not come together until they experience it alongside the audience. It is part of what makes live performance so unique and why it continues to resonate across North Texas.

There are moments in the middle of a production where you pause and take it in. Pulcinella brought together Avant Chamber Ballet and Orchestra of New Spain in a way that felt truly special. Full video premieres May 6 on YouTube. #dallasarts #ballet #classicalmusic #dfwart #supportthearts
