Symphonic Celebration
The Â鶹ÊÓƵ School of Music is proud to present our annual “Symphonic Celebration", May 2-4, 2025. The Festival features two concert bands and one jazz band comprised of middle school students, nominated by their band directors, from public and private schools throughout Florida. Our goal is to provide students with the highest levels of musical experiences through education and performance opportunities.
Each year the festival invites three guest conductors from around the United States to direct the various bands. This year's concert band conductors are Yolanda Knight and Bernard Hendricks, and the jazz band clinician will be Jeff Cayer. During their stay, students will experience a multitude of concerts, masterclasses, and clinics hosted by USF's School of Music faculty.
