In 1949, conductor Lyman Wiltse made the long drive from Tampa for the first rehearsals of the Florida West Coast Symphony. Christopher Confessore, a Sarasota native and music director of the Brevard Symphony Orchestra, returns to conduct a repeat performance of the first orchestral concert that launched our remarkable 65-year journey. Enjoy several short classical favorites by Saint-Saëns, Berlioz and Strauss. Highlights include Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony and the popular (then and now!) In the Still of the Night by Cole Porter. A video message from Music Director Anu Tali honors our past and signals a bright and exciting future.
