Who is the
Dust City Symphony
In 2026, the Dust City Symphony will return to the Playa as a small, elegant, classical ensemble. With a deliberate decision to have fewer musicians, we will bring our sense of popular and classical music on acoustic instruments to the Playa. Our focus will be on intimacy and a musical conversation through a unique repertoire.
Please stay tuned for our 2026 concert schedule.
We will also be in the Who/What/Where/When guide, and will try to get an entry into the Rockstar Librarian’s indispensable guide.
MUSICIANS: We’re a Chamber Orchestra so our needs are smaller. Those familiar with the Playa’s other three ensembles may already know us. If you’re curious (not a call to defect!), perhaps we could be a good fit. Particularly if you play viola (we always need violas! We LOVE violas). We’d love to have a conversation!
Everyone who plays with DSC can expect to have a conversation with us first to dial you in.
We love you all, whomever you play with. You are the brave souls playing acoustical instruments in an utterly improbable place!
