Introducing Play Out Tampa Bay: Our First Community Play-Along

Celebrating Musical Unity: The Community Side-by-Side

The Florida Orchestra and Music Director Michael Francis are proud to officially introduce Play Out Tampa Bay. This landmark, first-ever immersive concert invites local amateur musicians to step out of their practice rooms and onto the stage to perform live with our professional orchestral players.

Under the baton of Music Director Michael Francis, these dedicated community members will sit side-by-side with a world-class professional orchestra for a full-scale concert. This inaugural event highlights the incredible depth of talent found in our community and celebrates the vibrant musical spirit of the Tampa Bay region.

Meet the Musicians of 2026
