South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s Summer Chamber Music Series – Bach & Dvořák at Coral Gables Museum

Summer shimmers with musical delight as South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s (SFSO) beloved Summer with the Symphony chamber music series returns to enchant and inspire. These intimate evening concerts, once again, bring soul-stirring performances to inviting, candlelit venues full of charm in Fort Lauderdale and Miami through July. After the concerts, enjoy special meet-and-greet opportunities with the musicians.

July’s program, “The Titans,” pairs two monumental works that showcase the brilliance and depth of chamber music. Bach’s dramatic Keyboard Concerto in D minor pulses with rhythmic intensity, while Dvoák’s vibrant String Quintet No. 2brings folkloric flair and lush harmonies to the summer stage. Musicians Huifang Chen (1st violin), Erika Venable (2nd violin), Brandon Wu (viola), Claudio Jaffe (cello), Amy Nickler (bass), and Catherine Lan (piano) will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 24, at the Coral Gables Museum.

From sold-out masterworks performances to accompanying today’s musicians such as Natalie Merchant and performing modern musical scores, South Florida’s largest symphonic orchestra is continuing its journey of excellence inspiring audiences of all ages and musical genres. This season’s popular collaborations included performances of ARRIVAL From Sweden: The Music of ABBA, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, and the upcoming Back to the Future featuring the iconic film screened live with audio and musical accompaniment.

The series is presented under the artistic direction of Sebrina María Alfonso, music director of South Florida Symphony Orchestra and curated by SFSO pianist Catherine Lan. Summer with the Symphony 2025 is presented with the support of Holy Cross Health, Robert Smith, City of Coral Gables and OutClique (Media Sponsor).
