While North Texas high schoolers are getting ready for final exams and graduations, some of them have literally closed the books on the Dallas Symphony Orchestra League‘s (DSOL) 2024 Junior Symphony Ball (JSB) with a check presentation.
Held Monday at the Meyerson, the event had DSOL President Nancy Labadie, JSB Chair Suzanne Austin and some of the JSB co-chairs presenting Dallas Symphony Orchestra Chief Advancement and Revenue Officer Terry Loftis with a record-breaking $497,000 check.
The funds were the result of the ball held on Saturday, January 27, at Gilley’s Dallas, which attracted more than 2,700 guests. The ball was co-chaired by Ela Austin of Ursuline Academy, Adelaide Boisture of Parish Episcopal School, Kate Fagan of The Hockaday School, Ashton Krug of Jesuit College Prep of Dallas, Cara Lichty of Episcopal School of Dallas, Cash Nix of Highland Park High School, James Sutherland of St. Mark’s School of Texas, Baker Trent of Bishop Lynch High School and Caroline Woram of Highland Park High School.
JSB is the DSOL’s longest-running fundraiser “supporting DSO outreach programs such as the Young Strings program and the Young Musicians program.” Since its inception 66 years ago, the “student-led, parent-guided” fundraiser has evolved “in scope and participation size.”
