The Maestro’s Circle: An Intimate Performance & Fundraiser

We invite you to an exclusive evening of music and conversation, offering a rare, close-up look at the world-class talent behind The Florida Philharmonic. This fundraiser serves as the essential bridge to our 2026/2027 "Joyful Sunsets" Season, where we will expand our repertoire into POPS, Movie Scores, and more.
