12Open Classical produces highly entertaining music events with a comfortable and welcoming spirit. Most of our events build community in a less formal setting than is normally found in the classical genre. The essence of classical artistry remains the beauty and wide journey of emotions that classical music does better than any other kind of music. We might mix in some comedic antics once in a while, because music should be filled with as many emotions as is life. Learn more...
We are based in Dallas, Texas, but our scope is not limited to our local area. We produce over 150 events yearly throughout Texas, and now are beginning events in the Northeast US as well. Open Classical’s events are each uniquely geared towards solving the biggest issues facing the classical music industry. Yes, we put on events and have a lot of fun in the process. But the success of our programs could be important to not only saving, but growing the art form which today is loved by hundreds of millions of people throughout the world. Learn more...
Whether you are a musician, fan of classical music, venue, performing artist, or volunteer seeking a cause, please contact us. We have big dreams for continuing to grow our organization and expand into new markets.
And don't forget to sign up for our newsletter to stay informed about events and special programs.
Open Classical is one of the few organizations of its size that did successful online events. Our online “At Home Showcase” even allowed us to grow our audience during the COVID-19 pandemic, and exciting new ways of making music were developed that will prove useful into the future.
