Sarasota Music Festival, by Sarasota Orchestra
Music as a Mirror of History

JEFFREY KAHANE, MUSIC DIRECTOR

A Cinematic Finale

June 21 | Sarasota Opera House

The 2025 Sarasota Music Festival concludes with a true Hollywood ending. SMF Violin Faculty Artist and Festival alum Elena Urioste—praised by The New York Times for her “unaffected purity and naturalness”—performs Korngold’s Violin Concerto, a work brimming with soaring themes drawn from his golden-age film scores. Schumann’s Symphony No. 2 brings rhythmic vitality and lyrical warmth, closing the Festival in an exaltation of joy.

“…Urioste brought the house down…”
