FORT WORTH — The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra has announced that Brett Mitchell will make his subscription debut with the orchestra at Bass Performance Hall on October 30, 31, and November 1, 2020. The program will be:
BRAHMS - Tragic Overture
SHOSTAKOVICH - Violin Concerto No. 1

The Dallas Morning News has published an article about the orchestra’s season announcement:
With a music director search ongoing, the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra has announced its 2020-21 concert season. Miguel Harth-Bedoya, who has led the orchestra for 20 years, is stepping down at the end of this season with the title of music director laureate.
Guest conductors this season presumably are being scrutinized as potential successors. Unless there’s an announcement in the meantime, that could also be true of next season’s guests.
The highest-visibility names for next season are Patrick Summers, artistic and music director of Houston Grand Opera, and Brett Mitchell, music director of the Colorado Symphony.
