In addition to its annual visit from the Brevard Symphony Orchestra, the Indian River Symphonic Association will host the Czech National Philharmonic Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Polish Chamber Orchestra of Sinfonia Varsovia, and the National Symphony Orchestra based in Washington, D.C. In one of the highlights of the 2025 season, the NSO will be joined by renowned violin soloist Hilary Hahn.

The Atlantic Classical Orchestra presents four programs in its Masterworks Series. The season will begin with “To Hollywood and Beyond,” featuring selections by Korngold, Steiner, Rachmaninoff, and Tchaikovsky. The title of the second concert, “Entirely Mozart,” says it all. “Choose Your Destiny” will give series subscribers an opportunity to select one of the pieces to be performed, and the season will close with “Pipe Dreams,” a program featuring organ music.

As always, variety is the name of the game for the musicians of the Space Coast
Symphony Orchestra
. Their season is already underway, but plenty of performances remain to be enjoyed, paying homage to the big screen, Broadway, and Beethoven along with folk music, the ’80s, and more.

The all-volunteer Vero Beach Chamber Orchestra presents two free concerts each year (donations are accepted) featuring selections by renowned composers. Directed by Colbert Page Howell Jr., the ensemble has been performing since 2008.
