Dinner Concert at Momo’s at the Quadrangle in Dallas, TX

The artistry of high quality professional classical musicians up close in an intimate and romantic setting.

“Foreign Inspirations”

With special guests Miika Gregg (Dallas Symphony) and Damon K. Clark (Dallas Opera), this concert features works inspired by a culture different from that of the composer.

Antonin Dvorak was a Czech composer inspired by the music he heard during a stay in the United States. Open Classical director Mark Landson was highly influenced by the music of Spain during his years living in that country. Bizet was a Frenchman also inspired by Spain and Puccini an Italian inspired by China.

All of these “foreign influences” come together in a magical concert presented by dynamic musicians and performed in an intimate acoustic setting with fine Italian food in an affordable package.

Mark Landson, violin
Miika Gregg, violin
Emily Williams, viola
John Landefeld, cello
Damon K. Clark, tenor
