The Florida Orchestra is one of the South’s most acclaimed orchestras and has been playing to local audiences for more than four decades. You remember all those fancy instruments that high school students use to mangle songs? These are the people who know how to play them perfectly. When you watch them, you know you’re seeing artists at work and conductors who know how to get the best out of a performance.
But I understand if you haven’t seen them play recently. The tickets aren’t cheap. The least expensive are usually about $20 (sometimes more), and often you’re looking at $50-$60 for a good seat.
Of course, you can see them for free this Wednesday. On March 25 The Florida Orchestra will perform its “side-by-side” concert at the Mahaffey Theater, 400 1st St. SE in St. Petersburg. The “side-by-side” part is a collaboration with the Pinellas Youth Symphony, so these are young people who also know how to play. If you’re going to check out the symphony, this is the night to give it a try.
They’ll be performing pieces from Tchaikovsky and Wagner, but don’t ask me which ones. I’m sure they’re classics. And really, it’s a free performance from a great orchestra. Whatever they play will sound good.
The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.floridaorchestra.com.
