About the 2025/26 Season:

South Florida Symphony Orchestra presents its 28th season: Juxtapositions. Where the bold and the sublime intersect, the achingly beautiful meets the utterly divine, and the familiar meets the new. Join us as Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso leads the orchestra through an artfully curated season of celebrated works, including several Symphony premieres bristling with unexpected contrasts.  

 

Highlights include Shostakovich’s introspective final Symphony No. 15, Prokofiev’s majestic Symphony No. 5, Mendelssohn’s “Italian,” two cherished Beethoven works –the luminous Piano Concerto No. 4 and breezy 4th Symphony, Mozart’s vivacious “Haffner,” and Rossini’s grand choral, Stabat Mater. Plus, fresh Symphony premieres by contemporary composers including GRAMMY nominees Carlos Simon and Nathalie Joachim, featuring breakout cellist Seth Parker Woods, “a cellist of prodigious technical gifts and sharp intellect (The New York Times). And fan-favorite guest artists also make their return — GRAMMY winner Zuill Bailey will shine in Saint-Saëns’ virtuosic Cello Concerto No. 1 and Svetlana Smolina prepares to enchant with Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major.
