Hear a whole zoo in the sounds of the Symphony! Your favorite animals—and some creatures you might not know about—come to life as the Symphony plays music by composers from Haydn to Elgar and everything in between. Dancers from the Florida Ballet join in for music from Beethoven’s light-hearted ballet, The Creatures of Prometheus.

Tchaikovsky died just a week after the symphony’s premiere and the name “Pathétique” is certainly appropriate for the psychological drama it lays bare. Tchaikovsky himself called it, “…the best thing I ever composed.” Principal Flutist Les Roettges solos on Nielsen's Flute Concerto, of which the composer wrote, "Here in a nutshell is what I demand of all art - opposing forces which meet aglow, appearing one but remaining two."

Roger Ebert said of The Empire Strikes Back, “…undoubtedly the best of the three Star Wars films and the most thought-provoking.” Featuring the GRAMMY-winning music of John Williams played live to the film by the Jacksonville Symphony.

There’s no more amorous Valentine’s Day than one spent listening to great love songs and duets with the Jacksonville Symphony. Give your sweetheart a most romantic Valentine.
