Wonderful evening!
We had such a fun time!
Wish I could have been there. With a nasty cough & fever, I thought better not.
Toshimasa Francis Wada A magical evening full of celebrations. Orchestra was exceptional. Looking forward to the rest of the amazing season.
It was amazing to hear Gil Shaham play the Stradivarius. Kudos to our new Symphony conductor. Orin Laursen, the new concertmaster, violinist has the Obsessive Compassion Disorder, a true asset to the SW FL Symphony. Congratulations to all for a successful amazing event.
I completely agree! This was one for the books! Thank you for the memories made to never be forgotten. 💙 Absolutely phenomenal!!
Wonderful concert!
Fabulous music last night 👏
