It may not have been the most auspicious beginning, that first appearance of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra in spring of 1912. The Star-Telegram reported on the occasion, and things were a bit rough by today’s standards: the conductor was also the flute player, and trombones outnumbered violas by three to one.

WELCOME TO THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON OF THEFORT WORTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA!

I have always said that the experience of hearing music live, in the concert hall, is like no other. It cannot be replaced by any other form of listening. It is a communal experience, a visceral one, happening at only one moment in time. At that moment it becomes a very human experience that is not simply about technique and aesthetics, but is actually bigger than any one of those important parts. It is food for the soul. As a body needs nutrition to sustain it, so does the soul need music.

For more than a decade, I have had the privilege of being at the helm of this team of talented and inspired musicians. I am honored to lead the Orchestra into this important and momentous season, which also happens only at one moment in time. We are excited to share this moment, and our music, with you. Because the FWSO belongs to us all. It is OUR orchestra. So let’s celebrate our 100th season in style, together.

After all, Life Is Better With Music.

But in fits and starts over the years, that ensemble evolved into today’s world-class Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, performing the finest symphonic music in one of the greatest concert halls anywhere—Bass Performance Hall.

Nobuyuki Tsujii’s gold-medal win at the 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition inspired what Time magazine called “Nobu fever” on an international scale.

The Splendor of the Strads FEBRUARY 9, 2013, 7 P.M.THE SPLENDOR OF THE STRADS: A GALA EVENTMiguel Harth-Bedoya, ConductorMichael Shih, ViolinSwang Lin, Violin

In our 100th anniversary season, the Fort Worth Symphony honors our own artists and the generosity of our community in a glittering night highlighting the two priceless Stradivari violins on loan to the orchestra from local donors. The program is a violin showcase, with Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins and other masterpieces written for this glorious instrument. We’ll end the celebration with Beethoven’s immortal Symphony No. 5.


The strings in particular have been honed, during the decade of Harth-Bedoya’s presence at the helm of the orchestra, into a precise ensemble with a distinctively smooth tone quality. — WAYNE LEE GAY, D MAGAZINE
