Sarasota Orchestra Brings Back Outdoor Pops Concert with Tropical Rock Theme

Arts & Culture

Sarasota Orchestra’s annual Outdoor Pops Concert returns to Ed Smith Stadium on April 10-11, bringing one of the community’s favorite spring traditions back for another year.
This year’s theme, “Parrots & Palms: Tropical Rock for Five O’clock… Somewhere,” will feature a lineup of island favorites like Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Van Morrison, and more, all performed under the direction of award-winning conductor, Kevin Fitzgerald. The concert will offer a classic ballpark atmosphere with great music, island-inspired drinks and a sensational fireworks finale. The concert offers a timely opportunity to highlight a unique blend of two vastly different styles of music.

Sarasota Orchestra Annual Outdoor Pops Concert, Ed Smith Stadium | 2700 12th Street, Sarasota, Friday, April 10 and Saturday, April 11 at 7:30pm, Tickets: $25 general admission.
