From the American History Unbound series, “The Eyes of the World: From D-Day to V-E Day” tells the story of World War II’s final months in Europe through rare photography, personal accounts from iconic figures, and a powerful live performance by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra and Broadway vocalists.

Proceeds benefit Wolfson Children’s Hospital and the creation of a new, enclosed outdoor space for the inpatient Behavioral Health and Wellness Unit—giving patients vital access to nature during their care.

September 30th. Tickets at JaxSymphony.org or call (904) 354-5547.
