Symphonic Celebration

The University of South Florida School of Music is proud to present our annual “Symphonic Celebration” in April each year. Our 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. During their time, students will experience a multitude of concerts, masterclasses, and clinics hosted by USF's School of Music faculty.

Information about the next festival will be released in 2025.
