Dr. Daniel Stevens
First Baptist Church of Pensacola, 500 N. Palafox Street
A regal procession sets the stage for a concert of symphonic variety, discovery, and unforgettable musical storytelling. Radiant Spirit invites audiences on a journey through bold heroism, shimmering orchestral color, heartfelt reflection, vibrant folk traditions, and exhilarating celebration. From Beethoven’s timeless Egmont Overture to the uplifting optimism of Randall Standridge’s Radiant Spirit, the sweeping lyricism of A Light in the Ocean, and the infectious rhythms of Latin America, each work reveals a different facet of the human spirit. The concert culminates with Copland’s iconic “Hoedown” from Rodeo, a joyful American classic whose irresistible energy and excitement have delighted generations. Whether you are a lifelong concertgoer or experiencing live orchestral music for the first time, Radiant Spirit promises an inspiring afternoon filled with excitement, beauty, and the extraordinary power of music to uplift and connect us all.
