Programs & Repertoire
Our exceptional musicians bring artistry, precision, and passion to a richly varied repertoire that ranges from classical to contemporary music. Led by conductor Pat Glunt, our chamber orchestra performs throughout the Sarasota area.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the generous donors, dedicated supporters, and visionary board of Avanti Sinfonia—as well as our audiences, making each performance possible.
