Step into the final chapter of the Florida Wind Band’s “Lights Out” Chamber Series, where ancient myth crackles to life in flickering shadow and sound. In the luminous space of Palma Ceia Presbyterian Church, join us for The Flame Bearer Oath — a bold retelling of the myth of Prometheus, the Titan who dared to steal fire from the gods… and give it to humanity. Guided by a narrator, this performance explores a story of defiance, vision, and the price of progress. Through the voices of a vibrant chamber ensemble, the tale unfolds in smoke and sparks. Each note burns with the weight of choice, echoing a rebellion that reshaped the mortal world. This is music that challenges, inspires, and refuses to look away.

Experience the spirit of America in our concert titled Bold, Brave, and Beautiful—a powerful celebration of the music that defines our nation’s strength and creativity. From Aaron Copland’s iconic Fanfare for the Common Man to the thrilling Candide Suite by Leonard Bernstein, this concert showcases the bold spirit of America in every note. Enjoy music by American icons George and Ira Gershwin, Scott Joplin, Benny Goodman, Woody Herman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and more.

We conclude our 18th season with From Day to Night—a program of music filled with hope, reflection, and passion. From Benjamin Horne’s stunning arrangement of the American spiritual Deep River to Dan Forrest’s tear-jerking Good Night, Dear Heart, this concert features music that will move audiences on both emotional and spiritual levels. Of special note is Omar Thomas’ Of a New Day Begun—perhaps one of the most powerful pieces of music composed in the last 10 years.

Resound and Rejoice! — a celebration of power, brilliance, and expression featuring an electrifying program that showcases the full spectrum of wind band music.
