The Fort Worth Symphony has a reputation for innovative programming and presenting newer, unfamiliar music alongside more traditional fare. This weekend’s concerts in particular include some fascinating sounds, including music by Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe (“Earth Cry”) that features the music of a didgeridoo, a 1,500-year-old wind instrument invented by indigenous Australians. The rich music of Wagner’s Ring Cycle concludes the program directed by FWSO Music Director Miguel Harth-Bedoya at Bass Performance Hall, 525 Commerce St., Fort Worth. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. Tickets start at $12 and are available at fwsymphony.org.
Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sun., March 23, 2 p.m. Starts: March 22. Continues through March 22, 2014
