There are an endless amount of symphony orchestras and they each have their own individual and unique repertoire. Some have grown accustomed to performing pieces that are a part of the musical canon while others play pieces that many people may be unfamiliar with. I've chosen to review a more popular group, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, as well as a smaller orchestra, the Santa Cruz Symphony. They are almost complete opposites and each have their own personality which I found very interesting.

Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra: Repertoire & How They Innovate Themselves

The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra, in my opinion, is one of the best. When I was in elementary school I attended a field trip to Bass Hall to watch a performance of The Nutcracker. The musical pieces incorporated has made it my favorite performance to watch to this day.
One of my favorite things about this orchestra is that they play a little bit of everything. They play the more popular pieces that are a part of the musical canon as well as pieces that you may be unfamiliar with. Watching the orchestra perform may result in you leaving with a new piece of music on your playlist.
Though they do have some unfamiliar works performed at times, they sort of have a routine when it comes to which pieces they perform. For example, when they have showings of The Nutcracker, they play the same pieces of music in the same exact order every single time, and I think it'd be cool to see them create something new and to put their own spin on the classic performance.

I chose to do a bit of research over this particular symphony mainly because they're located in the area that I'm from.
This orchestra is definitely smaller than the Fort Worth Symphony. They hold their concerts in two different auditoriums (which are not very large at all may I add) and only play about five classical concerts a year. They have a focus on giving younger students the opportunity to learn and create music themselves.
For this season, they have performances like "The Orchestra Rocks" which includes famous rock pieces. They also have a performance titled "Music of John Williams" which is a performance based around well-known pop music. It seems like for each performance they have a focus in a particular genre which I think is different and interesting. I don't know if I'd want to see them perform any other kind of music just because it seems like they've already established what kind of orchestra they want to be and what type of pieces they perform. Overall, I could definitely see myself listening to their performances just because I am more familiar with what they normally play.

"The creative networks of individuals who participate in the production, performance, distribution, and preservation of any art work are fascinating—just as fascinating as a single genius."
- Sara Haefeli

The people who take part in the recreation of a musical masterpiece are just as fascinating as the original "genius".

"Despite the strides that have been taken to eliminate the biased paradigms of previous canons, remnants of the exclusive past undoubtedly linger today. And, according to Behrendt, canons can never altogether escape this exclusivity."
- Jordan Bates

The quote kind of reassures and explains that even though it may at times seem that newer pieces are taking over the musical canon, they're not. These original and everlasting, popular works of art are going to be around for a very long time considering it's been hundred of years and symphony orchestras still perform these classics.

Although I don't listen this type of music very often, I could definitely see myself in the music that is performed. The main reason I think this is because it is great studying music. I have a short playlist on Spotify meant especially for focusing when working on homework assignments which include a piece or two from the musical canon like "Suite No.1 in G Major" by Bach.
