| FORT WORTH SYMPHONY program |
 |
| Maestro Miguel Harth-Bedoya |
Dear Readers you may not think you know any classic music but the first selection on the program was one many have heard at graduation services. Yes indeed, "Pomp and Circumstance Military March No.1". The march was written by Edward Elgar in 1901. It has been an endearing selection ever since.

| Edward Elgar 1857-1934 (doesn't he have an awesome mustache) |
It was then time for the featured solo violinist, Augustin Hadelich, playing a beautiful piece written by Felix Mendelssohn, "Violin Concerto In E Minor". Augustin has been featured with the FWSO on several appearances and has become an audience favorite. He certainly did not disappoint with this appearance. He coaxed notes out of his 1723 "Ex-Kiesewetter" Stradivari violin that was heart stirring.

Of course an encore was required due to an overwhelming standing O . He played a lovely piece by Niccolo Paganini, "Caprice #21".

| Niccolo Paganini 1782-1840 |
After a brief intermission, the orchestra took their seats and began playing the last selection, "Symphony No.3 in A Minor" written by Sergei Rachmaninoff.

| Sergei Rachmaninoff 1873-1943 |
What a wonderful program to begin the new season!
