How to get there / Where to park: There are several parking lots around Moody Performance Hall, but we have heard that ONE ARTS PLAZA is a close, cheap, safe bet. You can also take DART - Moody is walkable from the Pearl / Arts District Station is on all 4 rail lines.

Formed in 2016, the PLUS Quartet has appeared in recital throughout North Texas, including for the Dallas Symphony’s Soluna Festival, The Meadows Distinguished Performer Concert Series at Southern Methodist University, and at the University of North Texas and Texas Christian University. The quartet explores music both well know and obscure, equally comfortable with the music of Beethoven and Schubert to that of Janacek and Garayev. Individually, they are all members of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. They studied at many of the world's leading music schools including Juilliard, Eastman, Cleveland Institute of Music, SMU, and the Universities of Kansas and North Texas, and have worked closely with musicians of the Juilliard, Cleveland, Takacs, Borodin, Pacifica, Ying, and Tokyo Quartets.

The Hallam Family Concert series consists of 7 monthly free concerts on Saturday afternoons at 3 o'clock throughout the winter months. 2023 - 2024 venues and dates, theme, players and repertoire will be announced as soon as possible.
