Florida Orchestra

Our goal is to enrich and improve the quality of life in Tampa Bay and the state through the power of live symphonic music. About 91,000 people have experienced The Florida Orchestra at educational concerts, parks concerts, instrument petting zoos, and other events each season. Engaging the community in and out of the concert hall is a priority, with performances at hospitals, schools, community centers, and other non-traditional venues throughout Tampa Bay.
The Florida Orchestra is also strengthening our support of music education for kids, with the expansion of our TFO Teaching Artist Partnership with Pinellas County Schools and a partnership with the Prodigy Cultural Arts Program, sponsored by University Area Community Development Corporation and Hillsborough County. These programs provide training and support to orchestra teachers in Pinellas County and hands-on strings instruction to kids in Hillsborough County who may not otherwise have the opportunity to play an instrument.
