Welcome
The 2025-2026 Kravis Center Classical Concert Series marks
the official 50th Anniversary of South Florida’s largest classical
program. Originally known as Regional Arts, we will celebrate fifty
years of history presenting the world’s greatest orchestras and
classical musicians. From known favorites and old friends, to debut
performances, this may be our most exciting season yet!
For the first time at the Kravis Center, you can experience Handel’s
beloved Messiah by the internationally acclaimed Handel + Haydn
Society. H+H will bring their entire glorious chorus, orchestra,
soloists and conductor directly from Boston.
During their debut tour, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería and
conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto caused sensations at halls across
the US, including the Kravis Center where subscribers deemed it one
of the most thrilling performances of the season. Returning to the
Center with Venezuelan trumpeter, Pacho Flores, the program will
include Haydn's Trumpet Concerto as well as works by Ginastera
and Revueltas.
In February, we will celebrate the history of African American
opera singers with Limmie Pulliam, the first Black tenor to
perform the role of Radames in Verdi’s Aida at the Metropolitan
Opera. Mr. Pulliam makes his Kravis Center debut in an evening
vocal recital with the Jacksonville Symphony, followed by an
afternoon of Spirituals with his pianist, Mark Markham.
Following two sold-out debut performances, the Vienna Philharmonic
returns for two more performances including a program with classical
superstar, Lang Lang. They will be led by internationally acclaimed
conductor, Andris Nelsons, Music Director of Boston Symphony.
Throughout this brochure, you’ll discover details about the entire
season as well as important information about subscribing.
Thank you for your continued support of classical music. We look
forward to seeing you and sharing this incredible season with you!
