South Florida Symphony Orchestra

Fueling the Future of Music in Miami-Dade 

Founded in 1997 by Maestra Sebrina Alfonso, South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) is the region’s largest professional orchestra. We bring world-class music, transformative education, and enriching outreach programs to communities across Miami-Dade. 

Harmony in Action: About Our Programs 

Artistic Excellence 

Entering our 27th season, audiences will witness the power of live music through five Masterworks concerts at New World Center in Miami Beach. SFSO will perform iconic works including Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, Mozart’s riveting choral Requiem, R. Strauss’ insatiable Don Juan and the highly anticipated symphony premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s satirical masterpiece, Candide. Your support keeps the music thriving in one of the country’s most celebrated and innovative orchestral venues. 

Symphony in the Schools 

SFSO is known for its robust music education programs and has reached over 130,000 youth since its founding. Examples include our newly created Jump Start program led by our professional teaching artists. Partnering with schools in need of support, Jump Start provides young students direct access to orchestral training and mentorship. In addition, we provide a thematic STEAM-based educational concert to over 800 Miami-Dade County schoolchildren every year.  Together, we’re building the next generation of musicians and giving children the tools to grow, create, and excel through music. 

Community Outreach 

Everyone deserves to experience the joy of live music. Through free concerts and events, we bring the beauty of classical music to Miami-Dade communities. With your help, we can continue to offer these cultural moments at no cost, making music accessible to all.
