The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra had expected to open this season in a state-of-the-art, brand-new concert hall. Instead, it will first play on a soccer pitch.
With Steinmetz Hall not ready to open and the Bob Carr Theater closed indefinitely, the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra will leave Dr. Phillips Center-run venues for its fall performances — and turn up in place that has seen more balls than bassoons. The Philharmonic updated patrons on Friday with the latest twists and turns in an arts season that has seen schedule change after change for all cultural organizations as they react to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
