The Jacksonville Symphony, led by the internationally acclaimed Music Director Courtney Lewis, is celebrating its 75th Anniversary Season with a diverse lineup of world-class guest artists, dazzling pops performances, world premieres, beloved masterworks, multi-media concerts and much more.
Beginning in September, the Symphony has seen many new faces in the hall, welcoming more than 11,000 newcomers during the first half of the season. The number will grow as the season continues with the music of John Williams, new works by world-renowned pianist Conrad Tao, the return of the ever-popular Cirque de la Symphonie and many more major experiences.
With a new look and logo, the Jacksonville Symphony is focused on spreading awareness of its diverse offerings and appeal to people of all backgrounds.
This theme of variety continues on with the rest of the season, which includes Take 6 on March 29, the Children’s Music Festival on March 30, Antonín Dvořák’s “New World” on April 25 and 26, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in Concert” on May 2 and 3, Cirque of Ice and Fire on May 9 and 10, a unique collaboration with the Florida Ballet and Jacksonville Dance Theatre for At the Ballet on May 22 and 23 and the season finale, Gershwin & Copland featuring the world premiere of a contemporary work “Zodiac” on June 6 and 7. And those are just a few highlights.
The symphony invites members of the public to hear the music they love come alive, performed by the highest caliber of musicians during this special anniversary season. For those who haven’t attended a concert, there’s truly no better time to discover the Jacksonville Symphony.
