“Pairing one of the world’s greatest orchestras with popular artists, this festival gives Orlando’s visitors and our hometown guests a chance to hear their music in unexpected ways in Steinmetz Hall,” said President and CEO of the Dr. Philips Center for the Performing Arts Kathy Ramsberger in a press statement.
