The Dallas Chamber Symphony (DCS) is a professional, American chamber orchestra that performs in the Moody Performance Hall in the Arts District, Dallas. Founded in 2011, and led by artistic director, Richard McKay; the DCS presented its first season in 2012, and performs most of its concerts in the Moody Performance Hall.[1]
Critics have described the DCS as “extremely adroit”, “fresh” and “innovative.”[2] The orchestra has been lauded for its film series, which pairs classic silent films with newly commissioned scores.
