The Bancroft Family Concerts
Every year, the Fine Arts Chamber Players presents the Bancroft Family Concerts featuring seven free Saturday afternoon classical chamber music concerts at the Dallas Museum of Art October to May. The innovative programming features a variety of styles of classical music. Because the concerts are one hour in length with no intermission, they offer the perfect occasion to introduce children to classical music concerts. As with all of Fine Arts Chamber Players’ events, audience members may dress casually and bring the whole family to these concerts.
