The Pensacola Symphony Orchestra’s season concludes with a thrilling finale, featuring Antonín Dvořák’s lyrical and fiery Sixth Symphony and Hector Berlioz’s Le Corsaire Overture, inspired by the thieving pirates of Lord Byron’s poetry. Soloist Maxim Lando joins the orchestra for a breakneck cascade of notes in Camille Saint-Saëns’ Second Piano Concerto.

In-person and virtual tickets are available. To learn more about the Season Finale, visit PensacolaSymphony.com.

The Choral Society of Pensacola invites music lovers to experience the beauty of sacred music in a sacred space.

Major works on the program are the cantata "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes" by Adolphus Hailstork and excerpts from the oratorio "Elijah" by Felix Mendelssohn, both featuring tenor Christopher Moore.

The concert also includes
• “Amazing Grace!” (arr. Mack Wilberg)
• “Salvation is Created” (Pavel Chesnokov)
• “My God is a Rock” and “Hark, I Hear the Harps Eternal” (arranged by Robert Shaw and Alice Parker)
• “If Ye Love Me” (Thomas Tallis) and
