South Florida Symphony Orchestra (SFSO) invites you to beat the heat by escaping into the enchanting, serene sounds of its Summer Chamber Music Series. Beethoven and Schubert will be featured on June 15 at Barry University’s Cor Jesu Chapel. This series offers music lovers a chance to enjoy the classics in a more personal, intimate atmosphere.

SFSO will take on “Sorrow, Seduction & Secrets” with Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 11, “Serioso,” which was so different the composer demanded it never be played publicly. A work of haunting beauty, Schubert’s seductive String Quartet No. 14, “Death and the Maiden,” was written as he faced his own mortality. Performing will be Huifang Chen (first violin); Mei Mei Luo (second violin), Felicia Besan (viola), and Christopher Glansdorp (cello).

Coming off its highly acclaimed 25th anniversary season, SFSO offers passionate performances of classical masterpieces featuring award-winning musicians and illustrious guest artists. Its musical excellence has been recognized by numerous organizations and it was named Broward Center for the Performing Arts’ first Partner in the Arts for its affiliated $30 million renovated venue, The Parker.

General admission tickets for each program are $30; student tickets are $15. Tickets are available to purchase by calling (954) 522-8445 or by visiting southfloridasymphony.org/summer-with-the-symphony.
