In 2010, the DPO began a phase of growth as we welcomed new music director Adam Flatt. Adam led the orchestra for three seasons until Lawrence Golan took the baton in 2013. Highlights of the decade include multiple sold-out seasons, a transatlantic partnership with the Bayerische Philharmonie, the addition of DPO With a Twist, a nightclub chamber music series, and after 51 seasons, a move from our home at KPOF Hall to the newly built Antonia Brico Stage at Central Presbyterian Church.
