Are you overdue for a date night or maybe a girls’ night out this weekend? Maybe you should consider going to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra at Meyerson Symphony Center for an evening of Classical Rock n’ Roll music. This weekend, September 8-9, you can watch a concert at a different venue than you are probably used to and pay homage to the most influential singers and songwriters who change rock n’ roll forever.
The Dallas Symphony Orchestra presents “Women Rock”, conducted by Grammy award winner and pops conductor, Jeff Tyzik, and along with the powerful voices of Cassidy Catanzaro, Katrina Rose, and Shayna Steele, it will surely make your evening an extraordinary one.
I got to watch the performance with my husband and my dear friends last night at the Meyerson Symphony Center. It was my friend’s birthday last Tuesday, and there was no better way I could think of how to treat her out but to go to the Symphony. We all love good music and having a good time so this performance was perfect.
It was indeed an extraordinary night for us. Watching Jeff Tyzik conducting is a treat in itself but the vocalists were just AMAZING!!! It was a night full of my childhood memories; all the songs got me recalling my childhood in the 80s. Oh boy… I wanted to sing along, but most of the time I was staring in awe at the performer’s voices. What a night! It’s a must see!
Many of the songs were written and sung by the famous Carole King. Others were sung by the likes of Tina Turner, Pat Benatar, Janis Joplin which are all expertly arranged by Maestro Tyzik. There are also personal stories shared by the vocalists and a homage to the late Aretha Franklin with the song “Pink Cadillac.”
Spoiler alert: I cried a bit when Cassidy Catanzaro sang the “You’ve Got a Friend.” It was beautiful. Well… one other tear-jerking moment was when Katrina Rose (The Voice contestant) sang “These Dreams”.
Go…. grab four friends and have fun!!! Use code RESPECT for a Women Rock discount. Share your experience and use hashtag “MYDSO. ROCK you weekend Y’all!!!

I’m not familiar with any of those artists but it sounds like you had a great time! I love a good music festival, concert, or anything of that nature.
Those kind of events are amazing and glad you got to experience it. Love tucking into the symphony or a musical especially when there are unique events like Women Rock.
Wow this sounds like an incredible night out! I love the atmosphere of these kinds of concerts
It sure sounds like you had a fantastic time! I would have probably had a hard time keeping my mouth shut when all the hits were sung haha! Ps! I looove your dress!
I am a big lover of music concerts and the women orchestra in Dallas seems very interestiong. Definitely want to check this event. Thanks for sharing.
I’m actually going to visit my best friend in Dallas next month. She and I both love good music too and have an appreciation for the symphony. I wonder if Women Rock will still be playing then, do you know?

Sounds like a wonderful evening with your husband and friends. I haven’t been to a symphony since High school (in Japan) with my siblings and cousins. I need to go again as it’s such a wonderful experience.
