ST. PETERSBURG â One year after the coronavirus brought our world to a standstill, The Florida Orchestra has hit a milestone filled with hope: TFO has now performed more than 50 concerts for live audiences at the Mahaffey Theater since October, all following CDC guidelines for health and safety.
To pause and reflect as the Tampa Bay community continues to heal, the orchestra will perform âSerenity,â a concert instilled with precious moments of beauty and peace, set for Saturday and Sunday, March 13 and 14, with Michael Francis, music director, conducting.
âWe have experienced 12 months unlike anything before,â Francis said. âAs we move forward together with optimism, we wanted to curate an event that gives our community a chance to pause and reflect. This âSerenityâ concert is a haven: a serene musical space for peace, beauty and contemplation.â
