There are nine area performances to choose from during July and August. Summerfest annually hosts an acclaimed European chamber orchestra for one month of cultural exchange performances throughout Florida and the Americas joined by selected members of the Symphony of the Americas.

master classes, and educational outreach, taking the masterful sounds of this great ensemble to audiences in corners of the world who have never before experienced the exhilaration of live performances of great composers.

Its musicians are experienced professionals — graduates and faculty members of noted European conservatories, devoted to presenting musical excellence and organizing performances which are of high humanitarian importance.
