Dallas Symphony Orchestra

We couldn't let DSO Principal Librarian Karen Schnackenberg retire before having her on the Music Makers podcast!

For the last 36 years, Karen has dedicated her career to, as she puts it, "ensuring that the right music is in the right hands at the right time." Since 1990 there isn't a piece of music that hasn't crossed her desk in some way — from ordering the proper editions and correcting any printing errors, to marking bowings and rehearsal systems, and then carefully placing the music on each stand before a rehearsal or concert.

In this episode, we loved diving deep into the essential role of the orchestra library and hearing from Karen as she reflects on over three remarkable decades with the DSO.
