Opening Night!

Under the baton of Maestro Peter Rubardt, our 99th season commences with a pairing for star-crossed lovers — Sergei Prokofiev’s Suite from Romeo and Juliet and Leonard Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. The two hours’ traffic of our stage also features the unforgettable melodies of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Second Piano Concerto, a rapturous and powerful musical triumph, featuring soloist Joyce Yang.

Doors to the theatre will open at 6 p.m. Patrons are invited to enjoy a performance by a University of West Florida string quintet in the second floor lobby at 6:15 p.m. A pre-concert discussion featuring Maestro Peter Rubardt and Pianist Joyce Yang hosted by Advisory Council member Jonathan Thompson will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the second floor meeting room. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m.
