Mark your calendars, Orlando: the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra’s beloved Rhapsody Annual Gala returns on March 23, 2027, and this time the headliner is none other than violin legend Itzhak Perlman.
Undeniably the reigning virtuoso of the violin, Perlman enjoys a superstar status rarely granted to a classical musician. Audiences around the world treasure him not only for his remarkable artistry, but for his irrepressible energy — and now Orlando gets to experience both live on one unforgettable night.
The celebration unfolds at Steinmetz Hall in the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, with a remarkable gala concert conducted by the orchestra’s Music Director Eric Jacobsen. Premium gala tables at $12,000 and $10,000 are already sold out — a sign of just how much love this city has for its orchestra.
Every dollar raised supports the Orlando Philharmonic, a nonprofit that serves more than 155,000 patrons and 75,000 children and families each year through 130 performances and programs, from symphony concerts to free community music across Central Florida.
Happy City News celebrates this news with joy: an evening with Itzhak Perlman, the sounds of a great orchestra, and a cause that fills Orlando’s hearts with music. For concert details and the waitlist, visit orlandophil.org.
