Jacksonville Symphony 2025-26 Season Info
In September, the Jacksonville Symphony kicks off the season with the Florida Blue Classical Series opener featuring Copland’s Clarinet Concerto over the 26th–27th, marking the first big work in the Classical lineup. October brings The Billy Joel Songbook on the 3rd–4th, then Mozart & Tchaikovsky on the 17th–18th. In November the program continues with Appalachian Spring on the 7th–8th. December centers on festive works — The Nutcracker & Sorcerer’s Apprentice runs December 19th–20th, plus other holiday-pops offerings in that month.
As the new year begins, January features Bruckner’s Majestic Eighth (16th–17th) and later John Williams’ America in pop style early in the month. February highlights include Romeo and Juliet: Tchaikovsky & Bernstein on the 13th–14th and Rodgers, Hart & Hammerstein in the pops series. In March, the schedule includes Mozart & More: Concertos for Two Pianos March 6–7, and Barber & Mendelssohn toward the end of the month. April features Beethoven’s Fifth on April 24–25, as well as performances of Tosca in mid-April. The closing months, May and June, bring major works like Beethoven’s Triple & works by Brahms, followed by Rachmaninoff’s Third on June 5–6.
The season includes multiple series to serve a variety of tastes — classical masterworks, pops favorites, film-in-concert events (including The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Empire Strikes Back, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone), organ recitals, jazz series, family concerts, and shorter Symphony in 60 evening formats. Audiences can expect both familiar masterpieces and adventurous collaborations, with guest soloists, conductors, and multimedia concerts spread throughout the year at Jacoby Symphony Hall.
