This time of year our hearts take a flight of fancy, but it will be doubly so as guest artist Tom Burritt shows us the heartbeat of the orchestra - percussion - and the Wichita Falls Symphony Orchestra takes us on a ride from earth to the heavens and back. 

The music will also tug at your heartstrings - the original conductor's score to Ewazen's Concerto for Marimba and String Orchestra was dedicated "to the Taipei firefighters of Taiwan for their bravery during the tragic earthquake of September 20, 1999.
