the Sound of Change
Through performances that stir the soul and programs that ignite passion, Sarasota Orchestra is shaping a future as vibrant as the music we create. We’re entering an exciting new era, marked by the arrival of visionary music director Giancarlo Guerrero whose energy and artistry are transforming the way we connect with our community.
As the United States of America celebrates its 250th birthday in 2026, we explore the "Sound of Change" through a variety of musical perspectives on the American experience. From the innovation and vital storytelling in Masterworks: Variations on America—to the soulful evolution of the blues and jazz in Pops: When the Saints Go Marching In—and the breezy, buoyant spirit of Outdoor Pops: Parrots & Palms—these performances showcase a landscape of orchestral music that is constantly growing and redefining itself.
With every performance, every rehearsal and every lesson, we’re building a legacy that resonates far beyond the concert hall. From inspiring young musicians to empowering seasoned artists, Sarasota Orchestra is a catalyst for growth, creativity and connection. And with our new Music Center on the horizon, we’re poised to inspire like never before.
Sarasota Orchestra is the sound of inspiration.
The sound of opportunity. The Sound of Change.
