Five more days until we hear pianist Dr. Alexandra Carlson perform #Ravel’s brilliant Piano Concerto in G major 🎹 with the orchestra for Masterworks 1, led by Maestro Vladimir Kulenovic @bbmannhall
The Chevalier was Marie Antoinette’s music teacher. He is the first known classical composer of African descent, and will be the first composer you hear this Saturday evening. It is alleged that the Queen enjoyed playing with him publicly, and he was eventually fired because they got ‘too close’.
Arrive one hour early to hear the pre-concert lecture for an enlightening discussion about the life of “Black Mozart,” Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de St. Georges.
Tickets to Saturday’s Masterworks 1 concert are available on SWFLSO.org 🎫

Nora makes the difficult seem effortless while playing the violin 🦢 She’s been with us since 2015, later becoming the Symphony’s General Manager, and resides here in #SWFL with her husband and toddler son (yes, she created the adorable baby playing the piano in our stories).
