About this event
The Sinfonia Gulf Coast's Classical Connections series brings one of music's most innovative voices to Destin for a one-night performance unlike anything you'll hear on the Emerald Coast. Grammy-winning composer and multi-instrumentalist Howard Levy takes the stage to perform both harmonica and piano in a program that expands the very definition of classical music.
The evening features the world premiere of his Eastern European Harmonica and Piano Concerto for Single Soloist — a stunning work inspired by Balkan musical traditions, performed by the composer himself commanding both instruments simultaneously. The second half brings the full Sinfonia Gulf Coast orchestra for Beethoven's spirited Symphony No. 8 in F Major, a perfect pairing of groundbreaking new composition and enduring classical mastery.
Tickets are $35 for general admission, with discounted rates for students ($15) and military ($20). This is the kind of concert that leaves audiences genuinely astonished — an intimate venue, a world-first composition, and a true virtuoso at his peak. Don't miss this rare Destin premiere.
Best for: Classical music enthusiasts, arts and culture lovers, couples
What to expect: World-premiere harmonica concerto performed by its composer, plus a Beethoven symphony with full orchestra. An intimate high-caliber evening of classical innovation.
