Fort Worth Youth Orchestra

Proud of these young musicians! As members of the @FWYO they presented an outstanding performance of #Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 5 AND Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espagnol! Heavy lit for mid-Bandtober! And how cool of these awesome friends to buy tickets & come out to enjoy it!

Did you know Vivaldi published the concerti with accompanying sonnets (possibly written by the composer himself) that elucidated what it was in the spirit of each season that his music was intended to evoke? #soundsofspring #fwyo #vivaldi #spring

Did you know, Beethoven wrote his famous “Pastoral Symphony” while walking in the forests of Vienna during springtime? He walked by himself every day in the woods for solace and inspiration. #fwyo #soundsofspring #pastoralsymphony #Beethoven #ClassicalMusic
