South Florida Symphony Orchestra Presents Joachim, Simon, Mozart and Rimsky-Korsakov at The Parker
February 18 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Timeless classics meet bold new voices as South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO), led by award-winning music director Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso, celebrates Black History Month with a standout program. SFSO will present the anticipated Florida premiere of GRAMMY® nominee Nathalie Joachim’s Had to Be, an intimate exploration of memory and identity, performed by rising cellist Seth Parker Woods and the orchestral premiere of Carlos Simon’s Four Black American Dances, a vibrant work filled with spiritual depth. Completing the program, Mozart’s “Haffner” symphony bursts with celebratory energy and elegant precision, while Rimsky-Korsakov’s crowd-pleasing Capriccio espagnol sparkles with irresistible Spanish rhythms at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 18, at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale (707 NE 8th Street). Enjoy a pre-concert chat with Dr. Alan Mason, professor emeritus of music at Barry University, 30 minutes before the concert, featuring in-depth conversation and insights about the works and composers.
