The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra's concert for Sunday, March 20th was drastically changed at the last minute. The featured soloist, Vadym Kholodenko, suffered a horrible personal tragedy and was unable to perform.
The concert had to continue even in the face of tragedy.

Luckily, Alessio Bax, a marvelous pianist, was able to appear at the very last minute. He performed Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No 1 B-flat Minor. It was an amazing performance. He received numerous standing ovations.

The orchestra opened the concert with Edward Elgar's "Nimrod". It was a very stirring and heart-felt piece of music and reflected all the emotions that had surfaced during the week. So meaningful.

After Mr. Bax performed, there was a short intermission.
Following the intermission, the orchestra played Johannes Brahms, Symphony No.3 in F Major. Wow! Another wonderful performance.

As Maestro Miguel Harth-Bedoya shared with the audience before the concert began, "When all words fail us, we have music".
