Instructors are the unsung heroes of our community, but Saint Petersburg College’s concert and wind symphony are going to sing the praises of Dr. Jonathan Steele by handing the school’s former director of bands (and outgoing Dean of Humanities and Arts) a baton for a farewell concert that tips its cap at Steele’s 16 year run at the school. Florida Orchestra principal percussionist John Shaw will guest at Palladium Theater.

Tribute Concert: Retirement of Dean Steele. Thurs. May 2. Hough Hall at Palladium Theater, St. Petersburg. mypalladium.org.
