UCF Symphony Orchestra: Lifted to the Stars

April 3, 2026 | Steinmetz Hall | 7:30 p.m.

Join the University of Central Florida Symphony Orchestra, under the leadership of Conductor Robert G. Hasty and Assistant Conductor Calogero Fanara, for an elegant evening of orchestral and choral brilliance.

In collaboration with the UCF Choirs, under the expert direction of Chorus Master Jeffery Redding, this concert brings to life the sweeping drama and spiritual depth of Felix Mendelssohn’s Elijah—a masterwork of the Romantic era that continues to inspire audiences worldwide. The program also features Mendelssohn’s evocative overture, “The Hebrides (Fingal’s Cave),” a tone poem that captures the rugged beauty and mystery of Scotland’s coastal landscapes.

Revel in the celebration of artistry and collaboration, where soaring voices and powerful orchestral colors unite in a performance that will stir your soul.
