Sarasota Orchestra Announces MUSIC MOVES US - SMF EDITION

To maintain a connection to the Sarasota-Manatee community following the cancellation of the 2020 Sarasota Music Festival (SMF), the festival's artistic leadership, fellows and faculty are producing a virtual collaboration with Sarasota Orchestra's Music Moves Us initiative.

Music Moves Us - SMF Edition will launch with "postcards" from this year's SMF faculty and fellows sharing video messages and performances. It will continue to expand with regular updates of new content. The campaign also encompasses weekly broadcasts of Sarasota Music Festival concert recordings, Tuesdays at 7:00 pm, on Classical WSMR 89.1 FM.

"Music Moves Us - SMF Edition" can be experienced on Sarasota Orchestra's website and its Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as through free email subscriptions.
