Both concerts will feature a total of five pieces by John Stafford Smith, Beethoven, Greig, Mahler, and Böhme. The concerts will be hosted at the Pinellas Park Performing Arts Center. Seats are available on a first come, first serve basis. 

While it is free to attend, the orchestra’s website states that donations are appreciated. The flyer suggests a donation amount of $10.

Conducted by Dr. Martin H. Seggelke, the performing musicians include a team of 12 violinists, five violists, five cellists, two string bassists, two flutists/piccolo players, two oboists/English horn players, three clarinetists, one bass clarinetist, one bassoonist, five French horn players, three trumpeters, four trombonists, one tubist, and one percussionist. That is 47 instruments in total.
