Just in time for our pleasant fall weather comes another round of The Florida Orchestra's Free Pops in the Park concert series, which bring your favorite symphonic and pop compositions to four Bay area parks. The difference between previous pops and this one is a new resident conductor, Andrew Grams, a talented up-and-comer who's in such hot demand right now that he's leading orchestras in several cities at once during the 2007-08 concert season. So pack up those picnic baskets and see Susan Haig's successor in action. Sun., Oct. 14, 7 p.m., River Tower Park, 701 E. Bird St., Tampa, free, floridaorchestra.org.
