Tampa Bay Symphony ends its spring series with a rendition of ‘Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique’

Generally, you won’t find the Tampa Bay Symphony—entirely composed of classical-loving volunteers—performing behind Josh Groban, or going through the score of one of the “Harry Potter” films.

Nonetheless, the hidden gem of an ensemble already has its 2023-24 season planned out, and will end its current one with a bang on Tuesday, May 2 at St. Pete’s Palladium Theater.

Under the baton of Maestro Mark Sforzini—some contest-winning literature (“Defiant Overture” by Austin Ali, and “Shostakovich Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Major, Op. 102” from Elisabeth Thomashoff)—will open the evening at Hough Hall, followed by Tchaikovsky’s 6th—and final—symphony.
