| NOVEMBER FWSO CONCERT PROGRAM |
The November Symphonic Series featured the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra with guest Nicolas Carter.

The program opened with Ralph Vaughan Williams composition of "Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis". It was wonderful! The program notes by Ken Meltzer describes the piece of music as "a mystical setting for strings of a hymn by the 16th century composer (Thomas Tallis)".

Following a brief pause, during which the concert piano was rolled out to center stage,
Mr. Carter once again took to the podium. The second selection was Piano Concert No 1 in C Minor, written by Dmitri Shostakovitch. The guest pianist was Behzod Adburaimov with Kyle Sherman on trumpet. Both featured artists were excellent in their rendition of this piece of classical music. Just a quick side note, Mr. Sherman is the current Principal Trumpet for the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.....one of "our" own!

After the 20 minute intermission the FWSO returned to the stage for the final number. it was "Enigma Variations" by Edward Elgar. One of the variations in this piece of work was "Nimrod" which is so very lovely.
Once again a marvelous program by the musicians of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra!
