When Jolyon Pegis, Associate Principal Cello of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, played our Bancroft Family Concert series last season, we conducted a “Now Hear This” interview to get to know the musician and the program for that day. For this go-round, we asked a few more questions to get that behind-the-scenes peek our audience loves. Enjoy!

Do you all use TheaterJones for arts media coverage? They cover more than theater, you know. :-)
Check out this post from TheaterJones for a glimpse at their history, and make sure you get in the habit of turning to them for D-FW arts coverage!Ten years ago today the website TheaterJones.com debuted. The reviews on the site included "Violet" at WaterTower Theatre and "Almost Maine" at Theatre Arlington. A few of the short-lived columns were "Dead Ringers," in which we busted people whose cell phones went off during a show (by taking a photo of them at intermission and posting it on the site); and "Because You Said 'Macbeth'," tales of theatrical mishaps. Oh, how far we've come. How far the scene has come. Pictured is a list of local theater highlights playing at the time. Within a year, we will have added dance and classical music/opera to our coverage; and a few years later, we added comedy.
Thank you for coming on the ride with us.
We're thrilled to announce that very soon you will see a new and improved site design, with a MOBILE VERSION. And a newsletter, finally. (Link to sign up is in the comments.)
Happy sweet 116, Dallas Museum of Art!
