ORLANDO, FL – On Sunday, March 10, 2019, Florida Symphony Youth Orchestras will present its second annual POPS in the Garden concert, paying tribute to the incredible music educators and programs in Central Florida. This concert will bring everyone together for a nice spring afternoon picnic accompanied by an array of POPS music at The Grove at Mead Botanical Gardens. The performance will feature FSYO's Overture Strings, Prelude, Philharmonia, Jazz I, and Jazz II orchestras. You will hear highlights of Chase, Washburn, Strauss, Ellington, and more.
This concert is part of our month-long campaign to raise awareness for Music In Our Schools Month. The goal of Music In Our Schools Month is to promote the profound effect that music education has on students' development. We'd also like to recognize the invaluable contributions of music teachers to the lives of students. During our intermission, we will be taking a moment to recognize all the teachers in attendance to show our appreciation for all they are doing for this community.
We encourage you to come with your blanket and bring a picnic to have with your friends and family. The concert will begin at 3:00 p.m. at The Grove at Mead Botanical Garden - 1500 S Denning Dr, Winter Park, FL 32789. Tickets range from $10 to $15 and can be purchased at http://bit.ly/POPSConcert and for more information visit www.fsyo.org. As always, teachers receive free admission to this concert and most FSYO Season events.
