South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s (SFSO) 28th season, “Juxtapositions,” ignites with a powerful reminder that even in darkness, light will always find its way. Led by award-winning Maestra Sebrina María Alfonso, SFSO launches the electrifying evening with Beethoven's freedom-fighting Egmont Overture followed by Saint-Saëns’ fiery Cello Concerto No. 1 and Massenet’s hushed “Méditation” from Thaïs featuring GRAMMY®-winning cellist virtuoso  Zuill Bailey. Capping the evening is Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 – a profound work that took the composer decades to complete, beautifully articulating one’s journey from darkness to triumph. 

The concert will take place on Wednesday, November 5, at 7:30 p.m., at The Parker in Fort Lauderdale (707 NE 8th St.). Enjoy a pre-concert chat with Dr. Alan Mason 30 minutes before the concert, featuring in-depth conversation and insights about the works and composers.
