Sensory Street, presented by Autism Pensacola and Regions Bank, is an interactive sensory experience sponsored by community partners who are hosting sensory booths along the inside of the Museum of Commerce.

Each station features an activity targeted to a specific behavior associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

The event's purpose is to allow a safe space for individuals with ASD to practice learned skills, as well as to offer those who are not on the spectrum a glimpse into the challenges presented by ASD.

Sensory Street is a group effort to spread awareness, promote acceptance, and foster inclusion of individuals with ASD into the local community for employment, housing, and education.

Celebrate the kick-off to Gulf Coast Veteran's Week with fun and food for families and caregivers. Special guest speaker, Representative Michelle Salzman.

The Experience UWF Downtown Lecture Series, in partnership with UWF's Music Hall Artist Series, presents ‘A Stór Mo Chroí, O’ Love of my Heart,’ an evening of Irish song and poetry with Irish brothers Mícheál & Owen Ó Súilleabháin, March 9, 2023.

The Ó Súilleabháin brothers perform a repertoire of song and poetry that has been handed down to them from their family and wider Irish tradition. Their background in musicology, philosophy and wider academia gives their excellent musicianship a deep yet light-hearted insight. They are also brilliant entertainers, practicing hilarity as well as a deep reverence for the ground of tradition and innovation they inhabit. They have performed with Russell Crowe, The Chieftains, Sinead O Connor and Nigel Kennedy, to name a few. This concert will include a capella song, their own original songs and poetry. There is something for everyone at this special performance, the first by the brothers Ó Súilleabháin in Pensacola.

The event will be held at Old Christ Church, 405 S Adams St, Pensacola, from 6 - 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m.
Directly following the event, a public reception will be held at the Museum of Commerce, 201 Zaragoza St, Pensacola.

The University of West Florida Dr. Grier Williams School of Music will present the Symphonic Band in concert on Thursday, October 13 at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be held in the Mainstage Theatre at the Center for Fine and Performing Arts, Building 82, on the Pensacola campus.

Under the direction of Dr. Jeff Osarczuk, this program will include works by Richard Saucedo, Eric Whitacre, Frank Ticheli and Malcom Arnold.

One of the featured pieces in the program is “Simple Gifts: Four Shaker Songs” by Frank Ticheli. This work is built from four Shaker melodies - a sensuous nature song, a lively dance tune, a tender lullaby, and most famously, "Simple Gifts," the hymn that celebrates the Shaker's love of simplicity and humility. In setting these songs, Ticheli sought subtle ways to preserve their simple, straightforward beauty. Melodic freshness and interest were achieved primarily through variations of harmony, of texture, and especially, of orchestration.

The Symphonic Band is committed to performing the finest wind band repertoire and is open to all UWF students with prior experience on an instrument. Students in the Symphonic Band are enrolled in numerous majors and minors across the UWF campus.

This event is free and open to the public and no tickets are required. For more information, visit uwf.edu/cfpa or call the CFPA box office at 850.857.6285.

The University of West Florida and the Dr. Grier Williams School of Music will present the Runge Strings Orchestra in concert on Thursday, October 6 at 6 p.m. The concert will be held in Holy Cross Episcopal Church, 7979 N. Ninth Ave, Pensacola.

For their first performance of the season the Runge Strings Orchestra will present a selection of Baroque and early classical music from Germany, Italy and England. The performance will close with a piece composed by American female composer, Florence Price, “Adoration for String Orchestra”. Published in 1951, “Adoration” was initially written as a short piece for organ in ABA form intended for use in church. It has proven attractive for arrangers, including Elaine Fine, who has orchestrated it for solo violin and string orchestra. 
The Runge Strings will be joined on the program by the UWF String Quartet. In addition, Jose Meza, Emma Pooler, Dr. Leonid Yanovskiy, Olivia Enkey, Dr. Victoria Adamenko, Delaney Adams, and Sam Spradling will be featured as soloists.
