“I believe that music has this wonderful ability to transport you emotionally,” said Alfonso. “All of the composers in our third Masterworks series offer riveting works that I hope will do just that, move, inspire, and delight our audiences, just as they have for me.”

Upcoming South Florida Symphony Orchestra anniversary season concerts include an all-Antonín Dvořák program March 22, 23, and 25, as well as the season closer performance featuring Sergei Rachmaninoff and Anton Bruckner April 26.

Tickets for the Masterworks III program start at $15 for The Parker and $25 for Tennessee Williams Theatre at The College of the Florida Keys. Tickets may be purchased here or by calling (954) 522-8445.
