The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra Association is one of the most successful orchestras of its size in the country, with an annual budget of $10.8 million, a 52-week season, and a $23 million endowment fund.

Under the artistic leadership of Miguel Harth-Bedoya, and as a resident company of the acoustically superb Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Performance Hall, the Orchestra presents a full range of Symphonic and Pops subscription and special concerts, while also performing for the Texas Ballet Theater, Fort Worth Opera, Southwestern Seminary Oratorio Chorus, and Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

The FWSOA's annual Concerts In The Garden Summer Music Festival features a wide array of performances and artists. It is one of the most successful outdoor festivals in North Texas, attracting some 50,000+ music lovers to the Botanical Gardens every summer.

The Orchestra's comprehensive education program, Adventures in Music, inspires nearly 60,000 school-aged children and families throughout our area. This commitment to outreach is also evidenced through numerous free concerts performed in neighborhood churches, schools, and community centers for under-served audiences. And the Orchestra offers free Symphonic Cafe concerts during the lunch hour in the Van Cliburn Recital Hall throughout the year, along with family friendly Discovery concerts in Bass Performance Hall.
