Sarasota Orchestra musicians who have been unable to take part in the indoor chamber concerts at Holley Hall, are bringing the music outside to area publics over the next few months.
With support from the Community Foundation of Sarasota County and the Gulf Coast Community Foundation, the orchestra has launched a series of free concerts by three wind and brass ensembles. The concerts include musicians who are unable to wear masks while playing their instruments. With outdoor programs, it is considered safer for them to blow into their instruments.
The outdoor concert series, which began last month, continues Jan. 10 with a performance by the Sarasota Wind Quintet at Nathan Benderson Park. The same group will also perform there on March. 21.
