LineUp

Founded in Fort Worth (1912), the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, led by Robert Spano, gives 120+ concerts yearly, plays Carnegie Hall, and has 13 acclaimed recordings.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, a Russian Romantic composer from Votkinsk, is celebrated for his emotional intensity and melodic beauty. He masterfully blended Russian folk influences with Western traditions. His iconic works include the ballets Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and The Sleeping Beauty, alongside the 1812 Overture and Piano Concerto No. 1. His compositions remain beloved globally.
Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev was a Russian and Soviet composer, pianist, and conductor who is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. A graduate of the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, he initially made his name as an iconoclastic composer-pianist with ferociously dissonant and virtuosic works. He achieved international success across numerous music genres, creating celebrated masterpieces such as the children's classic Peter and the Wolf, the ballet Romeo and Juliet, the opera War and Peace, and the Classical Symphony. Despite periods living in the United States and Europe, he returned to his homeland in 1936, where he became a leading figure in Soviet culture before facing censure for "formalism" in his later years.
Born in Conneaut, Ohio, conductor Robert Spano led Atlanta Symphony (2001–21), won Grammys (Vaughan Williams, Berlioz), champions Higdon/Golijov; Met debut “Marnie.”
