Summer shimmers with musical delight as South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s (SFSO) beloved Summer with the Symphony chamber music series returns to enchant and inspire. These intimate evening concerts, once again, bring soul-stirring performances to inviting, candlelit venues full of charm in Fort Lauderdale and Miami from May through July. After the concerts, enjoy special meet-and-greet opportunities with the musicians.
May’s “Moonlight Serenade” program invites audiences to delight in a luminous evening of chamber music that blends lyrical elegance with playful energy. The concert features Mendelssohn’s poetic Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Schubert’s dreamy Notturno in E-flat major, and Schoenfield’s jazzy, effervescent Café Music, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a sparkling moonlit serenade. Musicians Huifang Chen (violin), Christopher Glansdorp (cello), and Tao Lin (piano) will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 22, at Coral Gables Congregational United Church of Christ (3010 De Soto Blvd., Coral Gables).
From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres. This season’s popular collaborations included performances of ARRIVAL From Sweden: The Music of ABBA, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the upcoming Back to the Future featuring the iconic film screened live with audio and musical accompaniment.
The series is presented under the artistic direction of Sebrina María Alfonso, music director of South Florida Symphony Orchestra and curated by SFSO pianist Catherine Lan. Summer with the Symphony 2025 is presented with the support of Holy Cross Health, Robert Smith, City of Coral Gables and OutClique (Media Sponsor).
