Harpist Alison Read and the UT Arlington Symphony Orchestra performed at the Music Department’s Scholarship Gala Concert in April at the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House in Dallas. UT Arlington was the first university to host a concert at the architecturally striking facility, which opened in 2009 as part of the AT&T Performing Arts Center in the Dallas Arts District. The concert also included performances by the Wind Symphony, Jazz Orchestra, and A Cappella Choir. “It is a rare opportunity to be able to perform in a world-class venue, hear great music, and support endowments for student scholarships,” Music Department Chair John Burton says. “This was truly a win-win-win event.”
