The Florida Orchestra will perform fourteen classical programs in halls in Tampa and St. Petersburg during its 2010-11 season, beginning in October with a concert featuring Respighi’s Pines of Rome, Liszt’s Les Préludes, and Fauré’s Pelléas et Mélisande Suite.

Gruber, Milhaud, Satie, and Falla. Other programs throughout the season will include Thomas Adès’s Violin Concerto, with soloist Sarah Shellman; Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 15; an untitled new work by Osvaldo Golijov; John Adams’s Doctor Atomic Symphony; Mahler’s Symphony No. 6; and Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4.
