Listen to Florida Orchestra concerts on WSMR radio
THE FLORIDA ORCHESTRA | 2017-2018 Now you can hear live recordings of select Florida
Orchestra concerts on Tampa Bay’s classical radio
station WSMR.
There will be 13 broadcasts in all, thanks to the
orchestra’s new partnership with WUSF Public
Media and Classical WSMR radio to celebrate The
Florida Orchestra’s 50th anniversary. Listen for a
combination of Tampa Bay Times Masterworks
concerts from the 2017/18 season and archival
recordings from TFO’s 50-year history in Tampa Bay.
They will air at 7 p.m. on select Thursdays on WSMR
89.1 and 103.9 FM. You can also listen online at
wusf.usf.edu. The full concerts will be broadcast,
along with bonus insight from WSMR Music Director
and Host Russell Gant, Music Director Michael
Francis and others.
The partnership is a natural fit. Both organizations
are so rooted in Tampa Bay and dedicated to bringing
the power of classical music to our community.
The orchestra
performs throughout
the bay area with
concerts in Tampa,
St. Petersburg and
Clearwater, and
WSMR is Tampa
Bay’s only classical
music radio station.
A special thank you
to the Florida Orchestra Musicians Association and
the American Federation of Musicians Local 427-721
for making these broadcasts possible as a special
50th anniversary gift to the community.
The broadcasts also are made possible by support
provided by the Community Foundation of Tampa
Bay.
