Dallas String Ensemble

The Dallas String Ensemble consists of approximately 50 – 60 string players (violin, viola, cello and bass). DSE musicians encounter complex rhythms and begin to explore the interaction between various harmonies and melodies, while performing beautiful music.

Under direction of Susan Younghans, the DSE performs three concerts annually.
