We’re still smiling from the unforgettable energy of our Patriotic Pops concert over Memorial Day weekend!
🎶 Incredible music
🇺🇸 A moving tribute to our military
💃 An impromptu dance party during a brief rain shower
✨ And a dazzling drone show finale that people are still talking about
A special thank you to the outstanding guest artists who joined our musicians, including the Key Chorale, vocalist Qiana Miles, and the talented father-daughter trumpet duo of Ken & Reneé McGee. Your performances helped make the evening truly memorable.
We also want to thank our partners who helped us put this Star Spangled Spectacular together -- including Community Foundation of Sarasota County, @skyworxdroneshows & CoolToday Park.
Another concert season. Another SPECTACULAR finale. We’ll see you back in October! 🎻❤️

We Love Baltimore! ❤️🦀
Our team had a wonderful time in “Charm City” attending this year’s League of American Orchestras Conference. It was a great opportunity to connect with orchestra professionals from across the country, exchange ideas, and gain valuable insights from inspiring speakers.
One of the highlights of the trip was experiencing an incredible performance by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, with special guest artists Demarre McGill, Anthony McGill & Cécile McLorin Salvant!
We’re always proud to represent Venice, Florida, and The Venice Symphony wherever we go. 🎶✨

The first week of our Summer Music Camp is here, and WOW these kids understood the assignment! 🎶🎶
From the very first notes, they are already impressing us with their excitement and willingness to jump right in. We’re so inspired watching these young artists begin their musical adventures and discover what they’re capable of!
The Venice Symphony is proud to support the arts while honoring our responsibility to the Venice community and environment. It was wonderful speaking with 10 Tampa Bay about introducing a stunning drone show this year as part of our commitment to supporting the local burn ban and protecting the place we all love. ❤️🤍💙
