The concerts music included L’Ascension by Messiaen, Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani by Francis Poulenc and Camille Saint-Saens piece titled Symphony No. 3, “Organ.” I thought it would be interesting listening to a selection that I had no prior experience with and I had heard that the Dallas Symphony House was not only beautiful in appearance
