Orlando, FL – On Tuesday, June 19, 2018, at 6:00 pm, Florida Symphony Youth Orchestras will astound and inspire the public with the first concert of its 2018 East Coast Summer Tour at the historic College of Charleston - Sottile Theatre, located at 44 George St, Charleston, SC 29401.
The organization's touring orchestra will perform selections from contemporary composers José Luis Elizondo, Nancy Bloomer Deussen and Benjamin Britten, as well as classic compositions by Edvard Grieg. The Touring Orchestra is led by Music Director and Symphonic Orchestra Conductor Hanrich Claassen. FSYO is honored to kick off the summer in the halls of the Sottile Theatre at College of Charleston before continuing on through Washington D.C. and New York's Carnegie Hall.
