LineUp

A leading American orchestra and one of Florida's longest-standing cultural institutions, founded in 1949 and resident at Jacoby Symphony Hall in Jacksonville, Florida.
Felix Mendelssohn, a German Romantic composer born in Hamburg, was a child prodigy known for his lyrical melodies and elegant orchestration. He blended Classical forms with Romantic expression, creating popular works like the "Wedding March," Violin Concerto, and Italian Symphony. Mendelssohn also revived Bach's music and founded the Leipzig Conservatory.
Samuel Barber (1910-1981) was a celebrated American classical composer, renowned for his lyrical and romantic style. His enduring works, including the iconic "Adagio for Strings," Violin Concerto, and opera "Vanessa," are frequently performed globally. A two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, Barber's compositions remain a cherished part of the classical music canon, cementing his legacy as a 20th-century master.
