South Florida Symphony Orchestra’s (SFSO’s) popular Summer with the Symphony chamber music series returns to bring cool sounds to sultry summer nights! Enjoy inviting, intimate candlelit concerts in Fort Lauderdale including special meet-and-greet receptions with the musicians after each concert.

May’s “Whispering Waters” shimmer with warmth and light. Take in Hummel’s radiant Piano Quintet, Op. 87 and Schubert’s beloved Piano Quintet in A major, “Trout” featuring luminous textures, playful exchanges, and melodies that float, making for a breezy evening that glows from within. The concert features musicians Huifang Chen (violin), Brandon Wu (viola), Claudio Jaffe (cello), Amy Nickler (bass), and Tao Lin (piano) who will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, May 15, at Center for Spiritual Living Fort Lauderdale (4849 North Dixie Hwy, Oakland Park).

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

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.
