About the 2025/26 Season:
South Florida Symphony Orchestra presents its 28th season, Juxtapositions — an exploration of beauty in contrasts where the bold and the sublime intersect, the familiar meets the new, and music becomes a portal to a world of wonder.
From Mozart’s vivacious “Haffner” and Brahms’ heroic First Symphony, to the sun-soaked skies of Mendelssohn’s “Italian” and the sweeping emotion of Sibelius’ Violin Concerto — this season bursts with color and power. Beethoven’s luminous Piano Concerto No. 4 and Dvořák’s Bohemian Eighth deepen the journey, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s Capriccio Espagnol whirls with Spanish flair.
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 brings smoldering intensity to Saint-Saëns’ dramatic Cello Concerto No. 1 and Svetlana Smolina prepares to enchant with Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major.
