Each year, the Fort Worth Civic Orchestra invites 4th, 5th and 6th graders from area schools to compose a seasonal carol with a winter holiday theme. The top songs are professionally scored for voices backed by a full symphony orchestra and performed at FWCO’s holiday Teddy Bear Concert.
The 2024 Teddy Bear Concert is scheduled for December 14, 2024 at Birchman Baptist Church, with entries submitted no later than Saturday, October 12, 2024.
