SWFL Symphony
Gets Social
Full crowd last night at the gorgeous Tribby Arts Center. Andrew Lipke’s voice melted the audience. While the quartet splendidly grounded the story in themes, Lipke narrated in-between pieces and created a playful listening experience. Give it up for these sensational artists:
Hannah Cho, violin (@hannahcdougherty)
Kathleen Beard, violin
Courtney Filner, viola (@csfilner)
Antonio Innaimo, cello
Andrew Lipke, guitar, vocalist & narrator (@andrewlipke)
There are 3 more nights of concerts before we conclude for the summer. Last chance to get your tickets NOW! 👉Link in bio

🎼 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆: Beginning this fall, the Southwest Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra and The Heights Foundation (@theheightscenter) are combining our youth ensembles! Through this new partnership, we are now able to offer our programs TUITION FREE.
Last night, we held an “open house” performance of Roll and the String Quartet TinyConcert with @andrewlipke at their beautiful facility, where we announced the new partnership, and attended our first free concert together. You can still hear Andrew and the quartet for the next four nights at venues throughout SWFL. A few seats are still available.
The collaboration is beneficial to both institutions in many ways, including sharing educational resources; teachers, curriculum and repertoire, the ability to maintain structure and continuity throughout the program year; and to provide the highest level of instruction possible.
A massive thanks to the foundation and in special part to Melissa Barlow, the Director of Arts and Community Programs, for working with us on this music educational initiative! We are so excited to create music together! 🎵
