ORLANDO, Fla. (Sept. 10, 2020) – The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra will be kicking off its 2020–2021 Season and simultaneously making history as the first professional orchestra to perform a full concert in a U.S. soccer stadium on Saturday, September 26, 2020, at 7:30 p.m. ET. This concert will be held at Exploria Stadium, uniquely situated in Downtown Orlando, Florida, home to Orlando’s resident teams, Orlando City SC of Major League Soccer and Orlando Pride of the National Women’s Soccer League. The opening of the new Season and the FAIRWINDS Classics Series, Opening Night with Simone Porter, will be the orchestra’s first live performance since the beginning of March 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancelation of the remaining 2019–2020 Season.
