ALL-AMERICAN CONCERTO EVENING PRESENTED BY THE CLIBURN

Tuesday, September 22 | 7:30pm

The ultimate celebration of America at 250 happens at Bass Hall this fall. In the All-American Concerto Evening, you’ll hear three iconic American concertos performed by three extraordinary American soloists with The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano.

The Orchestra sets the tone for the evening with Aaron Copland’s gregarious An Outdoor Overture. Followed by Samuel Barber’s glorious Violin Concerto from rising star Amaryn Olmeda, who at only 18-years-old has performed with the Philadelphia and Cleveland Orchestras, made her solo debut at Carnegie Hall, and recorded on Deutsche Grammophon. Then, Oklahoma native and Cliburn favorite Joshua Roman performs a Cello Concerto by composer Mason Bates, written specifically for Joshua in 2014. In the grand finale, California-born Angel Stanislav Wang, who won the hearts of piano fans around the globe as a finalist at the 2025 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, returns to the Bass Hall stage with his take on that most iconic American work, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.

Make sure to wear your red, white, and blue and join us at Bass Hall for this star-studded salute to 250 years of America.

Patrons must be 8 years or older to attend these performances.

FORT WORTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: BRAHMS AND HAYDEN, TOGETHER

Friday, September 25 | 7:30pm

The composer Brahms was a savvy businessman. He used Haydn’s name to help sell his now-famous Variations on a Theme by Haydn, even though Haydn might not have written the tune. Regardless, Brahms’s variations explore the theme’s emotional depth with drama, humor, and poise. Rounding out the program are a transcription of Brahms’ Double Concerto for Violin, Cello, and Orchestra, which adapts the violin and cello parts for a solo pianist, as well as Haydn’s “London” Symphony, his farewell note to his favorite city.
