ABOUT THE CONCERT
The 28th season, Juxtapositions, ignites with a powerful reminder that even in darkness, light will always find its way.
Beethoven’s freedom-fighting Egmont Overture opens the evocative evening, as GRAMMY winner Zuill Bailey’s virtuosic cello playing resounds with intense emotion in Saint-Saëns’ fiery Cello Concerto No. 1 along with Massenet’s hushed “Méditation” from Thaïs. Capping the evening is Brahms’ Symphony No. 1, a profound work that took the composer decades to complete, beautifully articulating one’s journey from darkness to triumph.

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**.**
Bringing today’s voices centerstage, SFSO presents orchestra firsts by GRAMMY-nominated composers, including the Florida premiere of Had to Be by Haitian-American Nathalie Joachim, featuring breakout cellist Seth Parker Woods, “a cellist of prodigious technical gifts and sharp intellect” (The New York Times), and Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances. Beloved guest artists also 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 glittering Piano Concerto in G major.
