Meet the ISO

What Sets the ISO Apart

The ISO is a different symphony for a different audience...a distinctive professional boutique symphony making new waves in N. Texas

• creating a musical ethos all its own
• individuating itself
• daring to be artistically different
• providing fresh and compelling reasons to experience live music.

Anchored by a sound and notable past, the ISO is on a directed path to become 'original,' producing signature music experiences with a social conscience in the region.

A Different Symphony for a Different Audience

By design, the ISO is composed predominantly of young virtuosic talent. Maestro Guzman especially seeks to circle himself with emerging world-class performers, thus the average age of the ISO musician is 35. The ISO's home, Carpenter Performance Hall, is an intimate, humanly-scaled space in which every seat in the house offers patrons an up-close-and-personal, visceral, here-and-now experience.
