Classical music is a vital part of the musical and cultural heritage of America. Unfortunately symphony orchestras are often not well enough supported. The Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra is a blatant case in point. Despite being a world class symphony, the musicians of the FWSO are paid lower than the average of other Texas orchestras and the FWSO wants to cut them further. As a show of support and a tangible way to help, the Fort Worth Poetry Society will sponsor, and Mike will edit and publish a poetry anthology on classical music, the proceeds from which will benefit the musicians of FWSO. If you are a poet or visual artist and would like to submit to the anthology, here is a link to the call for submissions at the Fort Worth Poetry Society website:
