Editing Dallas Symphony Orchestra (section)

==History==
The orchestra traces its origins to a concert given by a group of forty musicians in 1900 with [[Conducting|conductor]] [[Hans Kreissig]]. It continued to perform and grow in numbers and stature, so that in 1945 it was in a position to appoint [[Antal Doráti]] as music director. Under Doráti, the orchestra became fully professional. Several times during the history of the orchestra it has suspended operations, including periods during the First and Second World Wars from 1914 to 1918 and from 1942 to 1945, and more recently in 1974 due to fiscal restraints. Subsequent music directors have included [[Georg Solti]], [[Anshel Brusilow]], and [[Eduardo Mata]]. [[Andrew Litton]] was music director from 1994 to 2006.  During Litton's tenure, the orchestra recorded the four Rachmaninoff piano concerti and the ''[[Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini]]'' with [[Stephen Hough]] for Hyperion Records.

In 2007, [[Jaap van Zweden]] was named the DSO's 15th music director, and began his tenure in the 2008–2009 season with an initial contract of four years.<ref>{{cite news| title=Dallas Symphony Names Jaap van Zweden Music Director| url=http://www.playbill.com/article/dallas-symphony-names-jaap-van-zweden-music-director| last=Schweitzer| first=Vivien| date=1 February 2007| journal=[[Playbill]]| access-date=22 January 2020}}</ref>  In October 2009, the orchestra announced the extension of van Zweden's contract through the 2015–2016 season.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.dmagazine.com/arts-entertainment/2013/11/jaap-van-zweden-extends-tenure-with-dallas-symphony-by-three-years/| title=Jaap van Zweden Extends Tenure With Dallas Symphony by Three Years| journal=[[D Magazine]]| date=25 November 2013| first=Peter| last=Simek| access-date=22 January 2020}}</ref>  In November 2013, the orchestra announced a further extension of van Zweden's contract through 2019.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.dallasnews.com/entertainment/columnists/scott-cantrell/20131124-dallas-symphony-van-zweden-extend-contract-through-2019.ece| title=Dallas Symphony, van Zweden extend contract through 2019| newspaper=[[Dallas Morning News]]| first=Scott| last=Cantrell| date=24 November 2013| access-date=28 November 2013}}</ref>  In January 2016, the orchestra announced the rescheduled conclusion of van Zweden's tenure as music director after the 2017–2018 season, after which time he was scheduled to serve as the orchestra's conductor laureate from 2018 through 2021.<ref>{{cite press release| url=https://www.mydso.com/blog/2016/1/27/jaap-van-zweden-to-join-the-ny-philharmonic.aspx| title=The Dallas Symphony Orchestra congratulates Jaap van Zweden on the announcement of his appointment as Music Director of the New York Philharmonic| publisher=Dallas Symphony Orchestra| date=27 January 2016| access-date=30 January 2016}}</ref>
