Making its Bass Hall debut, the award-winning Baylor Symphony Orchestra conducted by Miguel Harth-Bedoya, The Mary Franks Thompson Professorship of Orchestral Studies, will enchant audiences with Maurice Ravel’s La Valse—a one-movement symphonic poem and tribute to the waltz; a performance of Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor with internationally acclaimed soloist Richard Lin; and a harmonious and orchestral promenade through Ravel’s famed orchestration of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.

The Baylor Symphony Orchestra is an ensemble of artistic excellence, where Baylor University musicians experience an environment of camaraderie, motivation and inspiration through a variety of repertoire from all periods, and where they grow professionally and artistically. Initiated in 1944, the Baylor Symphony Orchestra has had only three permanent conductors. Founding director Daniel Sternberg passed the baton to Stephen Heyde in 1984, and then Miguel Harth-Bedoya took the podium in 2022.
