SHIFT: A Festival of American Orchestras celebrates the vitality, identity, and extraordinary artistry of orchestras and chamber orchestras by creating an immersive festival experience in the nation's capital. The week-long festival is composed of mini-residencies, with each participating orchestra presenting education events, symposia, and community events in venues around Washington, D.C., along with full-orchestra performances in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall. The Jacksonville Symphony is one of only four orchestras selected to perform at the 2020 SHIFT Festival.  

The Jacksonville Symphony has something for everyone this February. So make plans now to join us!

We are so excited to share the 2020/21 season with you!

We really are all in this together. Your on-going compassion and love for music will make a lasting difference for us. Now is the time for communities to rally around their arts organizations, because when this crisis ends, and it will, we will once again experience the breathless joy of enjoying a performance together, and the transformational magic that takes place between artist and audience.

Symphony Broadcasts Percussion Ensemble Performance!

In light of recent events, the Jacksonville Symphony has decided to cancel the previously announced live stream of SHIFT: Kennedy Center Bound scheduled for March 20, 2020. This decision was made after the City of Jacksonville announced that all gatherings of 50 or more people are banned. The Jacksonville Symphony cares deeply about the health of both its musicians and stage crew and therefore the decision was made to cancel the event.

Instead of presenting the full orchestra, the Jacksonville Symphony is excited to use Facebook Premiere to broadcast a performance by the Symphony Percussion Ensemble. The Jacksonville Symphony Percussion Ensemble features all four of the Symphony's percussion and timpani artists, including principal percussionist Steven Merrill, Kevin Garry, Joel Panian, and principal timpanist Kenneth Every. 

Patrons can find the Premiered concert on the Symphony's Facebook page or YouTube Channel at 8 p.m. this coming Friday, March 20. 

Date and Time:

Friday, March 20 - Percussion Ensemble Performance 8 PM

Click on the buttons above to find the performance at the scheduled time.

Jacksonville Symphony Concerts Canceled Due to Coronavirus/COVID-19

Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry announced that the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts will be closed to the public as a precautionary measure surrounding Coronavirus/COVID-19. Due to this, the Jacksonville Symphony has canceled concerts through April 1, effective immediately. The health and well-being of our audience members, musicians, and staff are our highest priority, and we believe cancelling these concerts is the best course of action for our community and stakeholders.

Although the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts will be closed to the public, the orchestra will continue to rehearse, and the administration will be in session. In response to the cancellation of concerts, the Symphony is looking into options that would allow concerts to be live streamed to the public.

List of Canceled Jacksonville Symphony Performances:

- March 13/14 - Give My Regards to Broadway

- March 19/20 - Copland and Ellington (Symphony in 60 and Coffee Concerts)

- March 20/21 - SHIFT: Kennedy Center Bound

- March 29 - Peter and the Wolf

This decision, which followed the announcement of the Symphony's tour to Washington, D.C. for the SHIFT Festival being canceled, will have a significant negative financial impact for our organization. We are especially appreciative of our generous patrons who will consider donating tickets which they purchased for these concerts. Over the course of our history, the Jacksonville Symphony has overcome challenges and continued to thrive because of the strength and support of our community. Now as always, we are grateful for your extraordinary support.
