A letter to our patrons It is our pleasure to share with you this snapshot of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra’s achievements during the 2015-2016 season, made possible by your generous support. The season was filled with numerous successes in artistic achievement, audience development, and outreach into the community. Our performances with world-renowned artists like Joshua Bell, Vadym Kholodenko, and Midori were highly acclaimed, and Miguel Harth-Bedoya’s commitment to new music continued with performances by three visiting composers. Concerts In The Garden drew record attendance and revenue. Our orchestra was recognized internationally with the release of two highly-acclaimed recordings on the Harmonia Mundi label. And we were one of only four orchestras selected by The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and Washington Performing Arts to perform in Washington D.C. for the 2018 SHIFT Festival. Despite these successes, we continue working to overcome many of the same financial challenges that are faced by orchestras nationwide. The New York Times recently reported that “while orchestras across the country face endemic challenges - rising costs and weakening demand, along with difficulty raising money as classical music's place in the broader culture fades - each ensemble has its own obstacles, and its fortunes are often closely tied to its community’s." You are our community, and we would like to express our appreciation and gratitude for your generous support of the 2015-2016 season. Your continued support will enable our orchestra to continue to bring the joy of music to our community for many years to come. Most sincerely, The FWSOA Administration and Board of Directors
