Sinfonia Gulf Coast has seven festive family-friendly December concerts perfect for celebrating the season.
Sinfonia Gulf Coast gets into the spirit of the season with a new series: Toast ‘n Jam on Sunday, Dec. 3 at 10:30 a.m. The first “jam” session features the Grammy Award-winning string trio, Time For Three (TF3). Prepare to be blown away by the electrifying sounds of Time for Three (Tf3), the genre-defying classically trained string trio. With their impeccable skills and boundary-pushing musical tastes, Nick Kendall, Charles Yang, and Ranaan Meyer seamlessly blend classical, bluegrass, rock, jazz, and hip-hop into an unforgettable musical experience. Tickets for Toast ‘n Jam are $95 per person and includes valet service, an elegant brunch, Bloody Mary & Mimosa full cash bar.
The excitement continues with Sinfonia’s Main Event of the season is Holiday Pops Featuring Brian Stokes Mitchell on Friday, Dec. 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Destin-Fort Walton Beach Convention Center in Destin. Dubbed “the last leading man” by The New York Times, Brian Stokes Mitchell is a two-time Tony Award winner with a versatile career spanning Broadway, television, film, and concerts. Receiving critical acclaim and awards for his performances in Kiss Me, Kate, Man of La Mancha, and Ragtime, Stokes has collaborated with renowned conductors like John Williams and Gustavo Dudamel performing at Carnegie Hall and the White House. Some of you may remember him as Trevor in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Get into the spirit as this A-list star performs holiday classics, Broadway tunes and classic favorites with the Sinfonia Gulf Coast orchestra. Tickets for Holiday Pops range from $30-$75 for adults. Seats at tables of 10 are from $55 per person.
