This concert season, we`re inviting everyone to "See Where Music Takes You." This summer, we`re turning the spotlight on our musicians to discover where music is taking them -- both on and off the stage! 🌤🎶

Our very own Principal Tuba, Joseph Alvarez, had the amazing opportunity to be part of an unforgettable alumni event with the Phantom Regiment Drum and Bugle Corps in Indianapolis, Indiana!

Celebrating their 70th Anniversary, Phantom Regiment brought together alumni spanning six decades for an incredible performance at the Drum Corps International Championships.

What a special way to celebrate such an incredible legacy! ❤️🖤

As the new school year begins, The Venice Symphony is proud to support the educators who inspire creativity in our community. 🎶🎭🎨

Today, Sarasota County Schools` fine arts teachers gathered at the Venice Performing Arts Center for a day of collaboration and preparation for the year ahead. We were honored to sponsor breakfast as a small thank-you for all they do.

Special thanks to Brewzabagels for helping make the morning possible. Wishing our teachers and students a wonderful school year filled with creativity and inspiration! ❤️
