Posted on February 9, 2018 By Editor Social Events

The Jacksonville Symphony’s “Evening of Grandeur” began with a VIP reception before a performance of classical and contemporary works starring guest artist Renée Fleming, and conducted by Music Director Courtney Lewis. The GRAMMY-winning soprano wowed the audience with selections from Strauss, Puccini, Dvořák, Lerner & Loewe’s “My Fair Lady,” and George Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess.”

Following the Jan. 20 concert at Jacoby Symphony Hall, guests enjoyed a VIP dinner with Lewis and Fleming, who has also received the National Medal of Arts, then finished the gala with an after-glow party.
