The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra (FWSO) stands as one of Texas’s leading cultural institutions and one of the most artistically vibrant regional orchestras in the United States. Since its nonprofit founding in 1912, the Orchestra has been a cornerstone of Fort Worth’s cultural identity and a vital force within the city’s thriving arts community, with a 46-week concert season, a core orchestra of 72 unionized musicians, and an annual operating budget of $16 million. The FWSO’s concert season consists of over 125 performances throughout North Texas, with diverse programming that includes a Symphonic Series, Pops Series, Family Series, and community-based summer performances. In addition, the FWSO regularly plays educational concerts and engages in community outreach performances throughout North Texas, which brings the gift of music to over 20,000 audience members who are unable to attend a concert in Bass Performance Hall. The FWSO Board of Directors has encouraged innovation and creativity, with the appointment of President and CEO Keith Cerny in 2019 and Music Director Robert Spano at the start of the 2022-2023 season, and both leaders have been extended to the 2030-2031 season.
