Sarasota Orchestra Volunteer Opportunities

Do you enjoy throwing and attending parties? Do you like being "in the know" and having exclusive opportunities not yet available to the public? Do you want to fill your time with enriching activities that touch someone else's life? Then becoming a volunteer for the Sarasota Orchestra or the Sarasota Music Festival may be the perfect opportunity for you.

You can help create the magic behind the music as a member of one of the Sarasota Orchestra's associations or committees, or Friend of the Festival. Contributions of your time, at all levels, are needed and deeply appreciated.

Sarasota Opera

They recently had a restoration that closed the theatre for 1 year. It is the best it ever has been, and no matter where you sit, the acoustics are just right. I have my favorites that I have seen this year, \"Barber of Seville\" and \"Elixir of Love\". The new season planned is exceptional. Personally, I like to watch the acting, listen to the voice and hear the orchestra perform the pieces. I don\'t really read the English titles. I really appreciate good opera singers, and they are here! The staff and volunteers are exceptionally friendly. This is a great place to take a date, and go to dinner afterward with restaurants close to the opera house.

Sarasota Ballet

There is a new director, who is retired from the Royal Ballet. He does not do 100% traditional ballet, he mixes it up with classic, tradition and modern dance moves. If the performance hall is large enough, the scenery for the productions rival any Hollywood screen props. And when performances are made in the smaller hall of the Mertz Theatre, choreography is very condensed, yet very accurate. The dancers work exceptionally hard to make the show just right. All of his productions are almost always sold out.

Sarasota Orchestra

http://www.sarasotaorchestra.org/

They are the jewel of this coast. Since they changed their name from Florida West Coast Symphony to Sarasota Orchestra, they had a change in production programming. You can experience the classics, Baroque, chamber music, and pieces that were forgotten. Sarasota Orchestra can play as powerfully as the New York Philharmonic, as precise as Kirov Orchestra (now the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra) and as playfully as the Boston Symphony Orchestra (Boston Pops). Along with the new name, in 2008, also saw the introduction of the Pixel Pops series, which combines big screen projection in synchronization with the Orchestra and the new Journeys to Genius, a 3-concert series which tells the stories, passions and experiences that influenced musical geniuses past and present. Sarasota Orchestra's programming goal is to provide something for everyone. The best part of the beginning of the summer, starting in June, is the Sarasota Music Festival. Competition is intense to get into this 3 week program. As a result, the best pieces are played by the most talented young people in the country.
