Description
Alma Schindler Mahler-Gropius-Werfel’s (1879-1964) three marriages to historical giants (cleverly lampooned in Tom Lehrer’s satirical songs of the 1960s) have overshadowed her own musical achievements in imperial Vienna just before World War I. Framed by a live performance of her Lieder by SMU voice professor Virginia Dupuy and faculty composer/pianist Simon Sargon, this lecture by Dr. Alessandra Comini, University Distinguished Professor of Art History, examines the composer’s formative years.
Event is free but reservations are required by calling 214-768-2698.

The Beach Boys with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Beach Boy trivia: Though surfing was a prominent theme in many of the Beach Boys' early songs, Dennis Wilson was the only original member who surfed. "Kokomo" was the Beach Boys' first hit in 20 years and ended up being their biggest selling single. Paul McCartney once said that "God Only Knows" was the most beautiful pop song ever written.
