With fall temperatures starting to arrive, the lawn at St. Pete’s Vinoy Park (701 Bayshore Dr. NE), is begging for your bum to sit on a picnic blanket and soak in the sounds of The Florida Orchestra (TFO).
The nonprofit ensemble’s robust “Pops In the Park” program includes one intermission to break up a dozen selections including John Williams movie favorites (“Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark,” “Superman”), patriotic jams (John Philip Sousa, “Star-Spangled Banner”), plus older shit from Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Kabalevsky.
Chelsea Gallo conducts, and TFO is collecting non-perishable goods for Tampa Bay Harvest’s annual food drive.
There's no cover to attend Pops in the Park happening on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 7:30 p.m. TFO has been hosting this free concert series for almost three decades; the rest of its schedule can be browsed at floridaorchestra.org. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
