Echoes Across Eras
June 1 - 8 | Holley Hall & Sarasota Opera House
Journey through the centuries as the 2025 SMF spotlights music that was profoundly influenced by history. Pianist Nicolas Namoradze is featured in two programs, performing his own composition on June 1, and returning with Shostakovich’s extraordinary Piano Concerto No. 2 on June 7. Audience favorites Tessa Lark and Mike Block invite you into their fascinating world of improvisation. Groundbreaking music by Beethoven, Bach, and others complete the Festival’s opening week of remarkable programming.
