Some Dallas Symphony Orchestra history:
Mata opened the Meyerson Symphony Center 24 years ago. At that time, he selected Mahler's Symphony No. 2 as one of the pieces to inaugurate the concert hall.
Mata died in a tragic plane crash in 1995.
Musical Director Jaap Van Zweden, the orchestra, and the DSO Chorus paid tribute to Mata by again performing Mahler's Symphony No. 2 ( in 2010)
Eduardo Mata was honored with a plaque inside the lobby of The Meyerson dedicated to his tenure as Music Director of the DSO from 1977 to 1993.
(hard to believe that the DSO shut down in the 1970s for lack of funding and poor ticket sales)
