What to do and see in Florida, United States: The Best Symphonies
Not just for retirees and theme park enthusiasts, the Sunshine State offers beautiful beaches, pristine diving conditions, and sizzling nightlife. Salsa the night away in a smokin’ hot Miami club, or swing away at one of Kissimmee’s many premium golf courses. An airboat tour of the Everglades is an unforgettable adventure – just look out for alligators! For the risk-averse, a lazy day spent on the soft sands of an Emerald Coast beach is as rejuvenating as a spa treatment.

This is a rather young orchestra by age. The musicians are quite good. There is a series called Classic Conversations on Thursdays where the conductor is present and the works being performed are discussed. I would recommend attending both the lectures and the performances. The Pop concerts are quite good as well.
