Fort Worth Symphony helps grant 7-year-old's musical wish

Posted 1:58pm on Monday, Jan. 14, 2013

Anton, a 7-year-old leukemia patient, had a simple wish for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of North Texas to grant: He wanted a violin. WFAA/Channel 8's Jason Wheeler got the story on how the Fort Worth Symphony helped grant that wish -- and how a "lil' bit" nervous Anton got a chance to help conduct the symphony's rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner. You can read the text version here, but the video is only about two minutes long and is very sweet.
