Put a song in your heart this spring. Gather with family and friends to hear joyous music performed by the Sinfonia Youth Orchestra in concert on Sunday, May 7, at 2 p.m. at Destin High School. 

The spring concert is a fun family-friendly annual tradition that showcases the talent of our area's finest young musicians. 

This year's concert, which is free and open to the public, will feature Sinfonia Youth Orchestra, Sinfonietta Strings, and Sinfonia's Chamber ensembles. 

The program will feature a range of music selections from beautiful ballads and lyrical waltzes to exuberant sea shanties and folk-dance ditties, including Cumberland Cross, Yorkshire Ballad, Waltz No. 2, by Shostakovich, and Celtic Air and Dance.

"From mournful melodies that will touch your heart to jaunty folk songs that will have you tapping your toes, our ensemble has demonstrated a superior level of musicality in preparing this program and we hope you all will come out for an exhilarating evening!" said Sinfonia Youth Orchestra music director Margaret Gordon. 

In addition to the music performance, the concert will include a salute to the graduation high school seniors and the presentation of the 2023 Sinfonia Gulf Coast senior scholarship. 

“The leadership from our seniors has allowed our ensemble to grow exponentially in a short time and I am looking forward to recognizing them for their efforts and commitment,” Gordan said. 

“Education is the centerpiece of Sinfonia. It was founded in 2005 not only for its entertainment value but for the fact that Northwest Florida needed an organization that could be the proponent for arts education in schools, specifically music education,” said Sinfonia Gulf Coast Music & Artistic Director Demetrius Fuller. The Sinfonia Youth Orchestra program is a wonderful catalyst for local young musicians to expand their musical talents, but it would not be a full experience without an audience, so we hope everyone will come out to and support our youth orchestras.”
