FWSO Symphonic Series presented at Bass Hall

FORT WORTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
program

The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra presented a symphonic program that consisted of three different musical works.  Miguel Harth-Bedoya was at the podium conducting the program.

Adam Schoenberg

The first selection played was a contemporary piece, "La Luna Azul (The Blue Moon)" written by Adam Schoenberg.  This work was first performance at the Atlanta Symphony Hall in 2012.  Mr. Schoenberg was in residence the weekend this particular piece of music was played by the FWSO.  He spoke with audience members about his influences in writing the music,his process and other fun aspects of his life.  He was very personable. It was indeed a very beautiful piece of music and so enjoyable.  It was well received by the audience and hopefully Mr.Schoenberg will return to Fort Worth.

Alexandra Soumm

After a brief pause for the orchestra to be re-set, Alexandra Soumm, solo violinist, came on stage to perform the "Violin Concerto in D Minor" written by Jean Sibelius. What a great performance!!!!!

Jean Sibelius
1865-1957

Ms. Soumm received a standing ovation and in response played a beautiful Baroque encour written by Telemann.

Geog Philipp Telemann
1681-1767

A 20 minute intermission followed.

After the intermission, Miguel led the orchestra in selections from Sergei Prokofiev's music for the ballet "Cinderella".  It premiered in Moscow in 1945 by the Bolshoi Ballet.  Oh how beautiful it all was. One could almost see Cinderella dancing across the stage and we did hear the striking of the clock counting down to midnight.

Sergei Prokofiev
1891-19551

Another joyful afternoon spent with the FWSO.  They are indeed world class musicians led by a brilliant maestro!
