About Basically Beethoven Hallam Concerts
The Basically Beethoven Hallam Concerts are a series of free chamber music concerts on Saturday afternoons at 3, at Central Commons, monthly from October—May (excluding December). Each concert features local professional performers who play in a wide range of ensembles.
The Basically Beethoven Hallam Concerts are generously sponsored by Fanchon and Howard Hallam. We are grateful to them as well as The City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture, TACA – The Arts Community Alliance, TCA – Texas Commission on the Arts and to people like YOU who give of their time and resources to make our concerts a reality. Your contributions help us keep these concerts free for all. To donate click HERE.
This concert series began in 1984 as Bancroft Family Concerts through a partnership with the Dallas Museum of Art. The free admission and daytime time slot of the concerts were expressly chosen to support Basically Beethoven’s commitment to provide professional chamber music to those who would not traditionally be able to attend—particularly older adults and families with children. For nearly four decades, the concerts have consistently attracted full-capacity audiences. Musicians frequently include members of the Dallas and Fort Worth symphonies, the Dallas Opera orchestra, other professional ensembles, and faculty members from local universities such as Southern Methodist University and the University of North Texas.
​They are completely free of charge and open to all ages.
