Immerse yourself in an enchanting evening of classical music with the "Night of Strings at the Garden: Baroque Chamber" concert, presented by the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra. This special event is scheduled for Friday, June 21, 2024, at 7:30 PM, set against the picturesque backdrop of the Fort Worth Botanic Garden.

The concert promises a rich auditory experience, featuring a Baroque chamber orchestra where the bassoon, oboe, and harpsichord join forces with strings to create a harmonious blend of sounds. Highlighting the evening are two concerto grossi, showcasing a captivating interplay between a select group of FWSO soloists and the larger ensemble. These pieces exemplify the essence of Baroque music, with melodies weaving through an intricate dialogue among the musicians.

Adding a contemporary twist to the night, Karl Jenkin’s "Palladio," composed between 1993 and 1995, draws inspiration from the Baroque style and might be recognized from its use in a 1993 De Beers diamond commercial. The program also includes Bach’s Suite No. 1 and the serene Air from Suite No. 3, further enriching the concert's repertoire.

Under the baton of conductor Taichi Fukumura, the featured artists and the entire orchestra are set to deliver a performance that bridges the gap between historical richness and modern-day appeal.

Attendees will enjoy the convenience of free parking for the event, ensuring a hassle-free experience from start to finish. This indoor concert offers a perfect opportunity for music lovers to indulge in the sounds of the Baroque era, brought to life by the talented musicians of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra.
