The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra<\/a> has been teasing this season since January, but now the moment has arrived: tickets for 2025\u201326 are finally on sale. And what a season it is \u2014 a blend of blockbuster soundtracks, classic composers, and some of the smoothest yacht rock you\u2019ll hear outside a Texas lakeside bar. From John Williams\u2019 iconic film scores to Brahms\u2019 thunderous symphonies, this lineup isn\u2019t just for the classical purists; it\u2019s a celebration of the many ways music moves us, whether you\u2019re a lifelong fan or just along for the ride. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Where the Stars Come Out\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The season kicks off August 20 at Bass Performance Hall with \u201cStars of the Symphony,\u201d a spotlight on the orchestra\u2019s own virtuosos performing beloved showpieces \u2014 an elegant prelude before things go full lightsaber just two nights later. On August 22 and 23, \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens in Concert\u201d beams into Cowtown, with John Williams\u2019 score played live to film. The next weekend (August 29\u201330) brings \u201cThe Music of Queen,\u201d a raucous return of Windborne\u2019s crowd-pleasing symphonic rock mash-up featuring hits like \u201cWe Will Rock You\u201d and \u201cBohemian Rhapsody.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Classical Roots, Cowtown Soul\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

By September, Music Director Robert Spano gets down to business with an opening weekend featuring Brahms\u2019 Symphony No. 4 and Grieg\u2019s ever-popular Piano Concerto (September 5\u20137). Later that month, the orchestra trades oversized drama for oversized imagination in \u201cSymphonic Stories: Alice\u2019s Adventures in Wonderland\u201d (September 19\u201321) and then settles in for a chamber music showcase at the Kimbell Art Museum (September 28), featuring \u201cBrahms, Ravel, and Poulenc.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the flash returns quickly. October 11 brings \u201cYacht Rock Symphony\u201d to Will Rogers Auditorium, pairing the FWSO with soft rock legends like Ambrosia and Peter Beckett of Player for a night that promises smooth grooves and serious nostalgia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And then? Dinosaurs. \u201cJurassic Park in Concert\u201d (November 1) stomps back onto the big screen with the orchestra supplying the thunderous live score. That\u2019s followed by \u201cREWIND: Music of the 80s\u201d (November 7\u20138), a time-traveling tribute to parachute pants and synths, and \u201cSaint-Georges\u2019 Sword and Bow\u201d (also November 8), a time-bending family concert about a modern girl who discovers her teacher was once the most famous musician in 18th-century France.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Holiday Hits and High Notes\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The season\u2019s holiday offerings are festive and family-friendly, beginning with \u201cMozart and Mahler\u2019s Fourth\u201d (November 21\u201323), followed by the beloved \u201cHome for the Holidays\u201d program (November 28\u201329), complete with carols and Santa Claus cameos. Come December 13, Will Ferrell\u2019s \u201cElf in Concert\u201d gets the symphonic treatment at Will Rogers Auditorium in a screening with the FWSO performing John Debney\u2019s score live.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Violin legend Gil Shaham headlines the annual gala in \u201cGala Concert Starring Gil Shaham\u201d (February 21), performing Brahms\u2019 Violin Concerto with Spano on the podium. A week later, \u201cShakespeare at the Symphony\u201d (February 27\u2013March 1) blends drama and music with selections from Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Families will want to save May 2 for \u201cStorybook: Sleeping Beauty\u201d at TCU\u2019s Van Cliburn Concert Hall \u2014 a whimsical blend of music, dance, and projected illustration.
