Music Director Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso will lead a program highlighting Sibelius\u2019 Symphony No. 2, Ravel\u2019s Piano Concerto in G major with soloist Svetlana Smolina, and Vaughan Williams<\/a>\u2019 Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Both performances will begin at 7:30 p.m., with a pre-concert talk offered on the Miami Beach date.<\/p>\n

\u201cSibelius, Ravel, and Vaughan Williams<\/a> each beautifully reveal a different facet of musical expression,\u201d said Maestra Sebrina Mar\u00eda Alfonso. \u201cSibelius’ sweeping Second Symphony grows from quiet introspection into a radiant, triumphant finish; Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G shines with jazzy brilliance through Svetlana Smolina’s signature artistry; and Vaughan Williams<\/a>‘ otherworldly Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis offers a warm, lyrical serenity. Bringing this spectrum of sound to our audiences in Fort Lauderdale and Miami is truly inspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n

GUEST ARTIST: SVETLANA SMOLINA<\/p>\n

Svetlana Smolina has performed with orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Mariinsky Orchestra, St. Petersburg Philharmonic, Orchestre National de France, Rotterdam Philharmonic, and the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. She has appeared at major festivals and venues worldwide and has been a frequent guest of South Florida Symphony Orchestra. Her recordings include Romantic Journey and a 2025 release of Rachmaninoff\u2019s Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n

Her work spans solo, chamber, and orchestral collaborations, with additional performances aired on NPR, WQXR, BBC, PBS, RAI, and Kultura TV.<\/p>\n

PROGRAM OVERVIEW<\/p>\n

The season\u2019s theme, \u201cJuxtapositions,\u201d explores contrasting musical voices, pairing canonical works with contemporary compositions. Upcoming performances across the season will include Mozart\u2019s \u201cHaffner\u201d Symphony, Mendelssohn\u2019s \u201cItalian,\u201d Beethoven\u2019s Piano Concerto No. 4, and Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s Symphony No. 8, as well as Rimsky-Korsakov\u2019s Capriccio espagnol. New works by GRAMMY-nominated composers, including Nathalie Joachim\u2019s Had to Be and Carlos Simon\u2019s Four Black American Dances, will also be featured.<\/p>\n

South Florida Symphony Orchestra continues to present film-with-live-orchestra events and collaborations with contemporary artists as part of its broader programming.<\/p>\n
