Sunday’s Agenda: Take a hike or take in Tchaikovsky’s 'Romeo and Juliet’
Take a hike in the woods
Did you eat a little too much candy on Halloween and would like to burn those extra calories? Well, here’s one way: Come to the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge, 9601 Fossil Ridge Road, today for a Cross TimbersTrail Hike. The hike, 1-3 p.m., will be in the Cross Timbers part of the refuge, which is described as being marsh with large mature trees. It is also where you will find wood ducks, deer, pileated woodpeckers, armadillos and turkeys. Temperatures may have cooled off, so make sure you dress accordingly. The hike costs $5 (with paid admission of $4 for adults and $3 for ages 3-17). Nature center members get in free. 817-392-7410; www.fwnaturecenter.org.
Last day for Tchaikovsky’s 'Romeo and Juliet’
Shakespeare did his best to inspire many a writer and composer, including one of the world’s most beloved musicians, Pyotr Tchaikovsky. The composer may be best known for his 1812 Overture, but his fantasy-overture based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet is equally impressive, and today is the final day of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra’s performance of it at Bass Hall. The performance also will include Tchaikovsky’s last work, Symphony No. 6 in B Minor, Op. 74, "Pathetique," and The Tempest, Symphonic Fantasia after Shakespeare, Op. 18. The performance, with Mei-Ann Chen conducting, will begin at 2 p.m. $9-$78. Buy tickets by calling 817-665-6000 or visiting www.fwsymphony.org.
