Crafted by the nationally acclaimed Billboard Charting recording artist, the Dallas String Quartet, our ensemble was born out of the collective desire to infuse artistic concert elements into unforgettable events. At the heart of Q The Band lies the expertise and talent of core members who have graced the stages of celebrity events, including the enchanting union of Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, the prestigious inaugural ball for former President Barack Obama, and private performances for Delta Airlines and LinkedIn. Our musical journey also includes performing at the ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS alongside Ed Sheeran. With a repertoire that spans genres and eras, our band transforms private events into unforgettable spectacles. 

The Preston Center Dance Youth Choir is proud to perform with the Dallas String Quartet for the Christmas Spectacular. Based in Dallas, Texas, Preston Center Dance has been nurturing young artists for over three decades, offering exceptional training in dance, voice, and performance where students share a deep love of storytelling through movement and music.

Under the direction of Katie McDaniel and Megan Kelly Bates, the youth choir was created not only to celebrate the students' musical theater performance but also as a way to give back to our community through music. Every year, the youth choir performances during the holiday seasons for various organizations in the Dallas community. The Preston Center Dance Youth Choir is excited to sing on the Winspear stage in this amazing production.
