Orchestra Bumped From Weekend By Touring Shows

The Florida Orchestra is hoping that audiences in Tampa enjoy the music enough to attend concerts regardless of what night they’re held. “In a risky move, the orchestra has switched all 12 of its masterworks programs during the upcoming season in Tampa from Friday to Monday night. It is an attempt to bring some consistency to the orchestra’s schedule at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, where the preferred, 2,500-seat Morsani Hall isn’t always available to the orchestra because the center gives priority to lucrative Broadway tours and other presentations.”
