Bass Hall
program

The Travelling Toe and a Dear Friend attended the Sunday matinee performance of the Pops Concert presented by the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.  In this annual event, the weekend following Thanksgiving,  starts the holiday season with a program titled "Home For The Holidays".  

The orchestra was lead by Andres Franco, Assistant Conduct of FWSO.

The symphony was joined by the Southwestern Seminary Master Chorale and the Lone Star Youth Chorus of Fort Worth.

The program was full of holiday favorites sacred and secular.  The theme from the movie "Home Alone" written John Williams is always enjoyed.  Also fun to hear were the 3 brass players on "Bugler's Holiday".  And who does not enjoy Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride".

As the program was ending.it began to snow in Bass Hall and a very famous person dressed in red made his jolly appearance.

What a fun and enjoyable way to begin the Christmas season!
