20/21 Season Update

After months of planning, listening to your feedback, and making modifications due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are excited to announce plans to move forward safely with several programs for the 2020-2021 season: four outdoor socially-distanced concerts and an online live-streamed lecture series. We hope to add more performances in the spring if COVID-19 conditions improve and permit us to do so safely.
Behind the Notes Goes Online

For the 20/21 season, Maestro Ponti’s popular Behind the Notes lecture series will be live-streamed online and made available free of charge to all patrons. Ponti will host and interview audience-favorite guest artists and Punta Gorda Symphony musicians alike, ending with an extensive question-and-answer session.
