What to do and see in Florida, United States: The Best Symphonies

July 23, 2021 Diedre Savory

Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

We went to a Chamber Music concert and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great concert hall acoustics. And the rooftop Garden is not to be missed - great views of the surrounding South Beach area.

The Venice Symphony with conductor Troy Quinn is amazing —and now all performances are pretty much sold out. We are lucky to have season tickets.

This is a rather young orchestra by age. The musicians are quite good. There is a series called Classic Conversations on Thursdays where the conductor is present and the works being performed are discussed. I would recommend attending both the lectures and the performances. The Pop concerts are quite good as well.
