Anniversary Season Opens with Official Fanfare
Music by American composers is our standard for opening night, as distinguished actor Clifton Davis narrated Copland’s Lincoln Portrait and superstar Anne Akiko Meyers soloed in Barber’s Violin Concerto. Several elected officials were among the audience to get a first-hand experience of this treasured institution.
Afterwards, officials were invited backstage to meet the guest artists and Maestro Mechetti. The evening began with a mayoral proclamation, read by Jacksonville City Councilman Kevin Hyde, commemorating the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra’s 60th anniversary season.
