The Community’s Orchestra
When you think of the Jacksonville Symphony, you may think about the incredible Masterworks or fun-filled Pops performances that take place in Jacoby Hall. From Beethoven to Bowie, the Jacksonville Symphony does it all, contributing to its overall mission. But an equally large part of that mission is attained through education and community engagement programs: the orchestra recognizes it is a living, breathing part of the spirit of Jacksonville.
Renée Fleming and a Challenge for Jacksonville
Throughout the holidays and after, the music will continue to echo through Jacoby Symphony Hall. As the Jacksonville Symphony emerges from one of its busiest, and most spirited, parts of the season, the musicians and staff look forward to what the remainder of the season holds.
Celebrate the Holidays With the Jacksonville Symphony
It’s not the holidays without music and it’s certainly not the holidays in Jacksonville without the Jacksonville Symphony. This year’s holiday program has been expanded to include new offerings along with old favorites.
The Season of Magic
The Jacksonville Symphony will start its 2017-2018 season, The Season of Magic, with a fanfare. Literally.
Better Than Boston
Robert E. Jacoby Symphony Hall in the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts has a birthday coming up. On April 26, 2017 the hall will celebrate its 20th. For Jacksonville, the construction of this acoustical gem represents a local milestone on a par with the date of government consolidation and the awarding of the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL franchise. And a venue that can be called one of the best in its class was created.
Children and the Joy of Classical Music
While many North Floridians are familiar with the Jacksonville Symphony, they may not be aware that the orchestra’s youth programs provide myriad ways to introduce children to, and educate them about, classical music.
