Classic Country: A Salute to Dolly and Patsy at Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall

The Southwest Florida Symphony’s 54th year promises to be a season of excitement and celebration as it announces and welcomes its new maestro, internationally acclaimed Nir Kabaretti. The incoming music director will be the fifth in the organization’s history and will have been selected through a painstaking process of interviews, public appearances and live auditions during the 2013-14 season.

This season’s Pops Series offers an eclectic mix of sounds designed to evoke nostalgia, pique the interest of new patrons and connect multigenerational audiences through symphonic music. The Southwest Florida Symphony will round out its Pops Series with Classic Country: A Salute to Dolly and Patsy, led by locally adored Maestro Leif Bjaland.
