Sarasota Orchestra's Unforgettable Musical Journey: A Symphony of Emotions

Few things are more awesome than the diamond-studded expanse of a clear night sky. With sparkling selections such as “When You Wish Upon a Star,” “Stardust,” and Josef Strauss’ Music of the Spheres, this concert experience is pure heaven.

Starry Night

Sarasota Orchestra closes its season with a program of works that left the door open for more. No one is certain why Schubert never finished his Eighth Symphony, but the two movements that he did compose remain among his most beloved. Julia Perry’s Short Piece for Orchestra was the first work by a woman of color to be performed by the New York Philharmonic; Perry’s life and career were cut short at age 55. In his Symphony No. 45, Haydn sent a not-so subtle message to his employer that the orchestra was ready for a break. This symphony has delighted audiences for over 250 years and concludes our 76th season with a chuckle as each musician exits the stage in a dramatic send-off.

Unfinished Business

Sarasota Orchestra lights up listeners of all ages in this 60-minute concert of familiar favorites. The program's centerpiece is Peter and the Wolf, Sergey Prokofiev's "symphonic fairy tale for children." General admission tickets are $5 for this close-up encounter with Sarasota Orchestra, with a Spanish version of the performance at 4:00 pm.
