Chicago Symphony Orchestra

Sarasota’s leading presenter of classical music concerts featuring two distinctive series. Since 1938, the Sarasota Concert Association has brought the world's most renowned classical musicians to our region, including such superstars as Rudolf Serkin, Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern, Leontyne Price, Lang Lang, Emanuel Ax, and Joshua Bell. The Sarasota Concert Association is a not-for-profit organization that seeks to foster an appreciation for the musical arts by sponsoring professional presentations not otherwise available in the community. The SCA endeavors to set ticket fees as reasonably as possible, in order to make the performances available to a wide audience. It provides outreach to all members of the regional community by offering a series of free concerts, Music Matinees, held from November through April every year.
