Conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya started the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra’s preseason Music Festival some years back to provide summer employment for the musicians while at the same time exploring offbeat programming. Beginning with four-day surveys of a single composer (Beethoven being the undisputed champ), he later pared it down to three days, a more manageable series from a listening point of view. (Four days of Brahms, no matter how much you admire his work, was pretty heavy going.)
