Formed in 1925 by musician Brooks Morris, Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra’s first ever conductor and director was its founder. Its debut concert, which was held in the December of the same year, had sixty-eight highly skilled musicians playing at the opening in the presence of about four thousand people at the well-known auditorium of First Baptist Church. During 1943 to 1957, the orchestra disbanded due to the occurrence of the Second World War. When the orchestra re-opened and became active, it was given leadership by Morris who also worked as its director till 1962. The responsibility of musical directorship was then passed on to Ralph R. Guenther and Rudolf Kruger from 1963 to 1965, after which it was given to Ezra Rachlin from 1965 till 1972, following whom it was assigned to John Giordano who worked from 1972 till 2000. Nin 2000, new musical Director Miguel Harth-Bedoya came to the FWSO. Since 1980, musical directorship has been under President Ann Koonsman.  
 
The permanent home of Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, Perry R. Bass and Nancy Lee Performance Hall, located close to Sundance Square takes the place of an entire city block. With a seating capacity of more than two thousand, the place was built with privately arranged funds. It is considered to be one of the most prominent symbols among the most successful projects of downtown revitalization works in the country. Its limestone structure takes its inspiration from the renowned European opera house, which has earned it the nickname of downtown Fort Worth’s ‘crown jewel’. The building was designed by architect David M. Schwarz, and reflects the forms of traditional European opera houses.  This magnificent hall can entertain ballet, symphony, opera, rock concerts and musicals. Besides being home to the FWSO, it is also home to Cliburn Concerts, Can Caliburn International Piano Competition, Texas ballet Theater, and Fort Worth Opera.  The Hall is managed by Performing Arts Fort Worth, which also stages its performances there, with its family series and touring national Broadway productions.
