Your lunchtime routine gets a classical makeover when The Florida Orchestra (TFO) performs at the Mahaffey Theater at 11 a.m. on Wednesday and Thursday. The Classics Go Retro shows go way, way back, past Ludacris, AC/DC. In fact, the selections for this week go back 100 years all the way to Prokofiev whose “Symphony No. 1” is on the docket along with Grieg’s “Holberg Suite” and Ravel’s “Le Tombeau de Couperin.”
Stuart Malina conducts both days, and the show’s capacity is at 25%, with a whole bunch of other COVID-19 protocols listed at floridaorchestra.org. Don’t forget your mask.
