About Jacksonville Symphony

Jacksonville Symphony on Tour

Under the leadership of British conductor Courtney Lewis, the Jacksonville Symphony has entered its eighth decade as an esteemed classical ensemble. The orchestra is one of the few American troupes of its kind to have their own concert hall: the elegant, European-styled Robert E. Jacoby Symphony Hall at the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts, which offers seating for 1,800 and houses the magnificent Bryan Concert Organ, built-in 1914 with over 6,200 pipes. The Jacksonville Symphony performs an average of 100 shows per year at the hall, but they’re also known to tour venues throughout the state of Florida, including schools and senior homes, attracting an annual audience of over 100,000.

Jacksonville Symphony Background

The Jacksonville Symphony has been a north Florida institution since 1949, and throughout its storied history, it’s played host to some of the most iconic names in popular music, including big-band maestro Benny Goodman, legendary composer Leonard Bernstein, opera legend Luciano Pavarotti, musical comedian Victor Borge, sitar master Ravi Shankar and pop queen Olivia Newton-John. Such A-list guests have helped give the symphony a profile that extends far beyond the city limits - the orchestra has made regular appearances on NPR’s classical-music showcase, Performance Today, and they’ve been invited to perform at such hallowed stages as New York’s Carnegie Hall. But for all their nationally recognized achievements, the Jacksonville Symphony has always maintained a strong connection to its local community, broadcasting its performances on the city’s public radio station, WJCT, and nurturing the next generation of Floridian classical talent through its Jacksonville Symphony Youth Orchestra program. More recently, the symphony has entered the digital age by hosting live streams and an archive of past performances on its website, while their Spotify page features playlists of classical pieces to be featured in upcoming performances.

  • Take 6

    by KC on 4/1/25Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts - Jacoby Hall - JacksonvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    The Take six concert along with the orchestra was amazing. I never been to this theater before and although I wasn't able to get front row seats, I don't think there was a bad seat in the house. I could see clearly from where I was and hear the great sounds of Take six.

  • Better than expected!

    by Ray P on 1/6/25Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts - Jacoby Hall - JacksonvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    The recent pop performance featuring music from Phantom of the opera was outstanding. The vocalists from New York were incredible. Attended the Friday night show and traffic was not bad at all. Found a parking spot nearby on the street. Overall, a very pleasurable experience.

  • Carmen Friday night performance

    by Dee on 4/13/24Rating: 3 out of 5

    Carmen was very disappointing. The music was good however the production itself was no.t. i did not expect modern dress, no color, no stage enhancements., It looked and felt more like a rehearsal than a opera production. We left at intermission. Not up to your standards of performance.

  • Great night out

    by AC on 2/27/23Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts - Jacoby Hall - JacksonvilleRating: 4 out of 5

    This concert exceeded expectations! You know it’s good when the audience all got up and danced to last number!

  • Absurdly short concert.

    by Dolly Parton and Kenny Roger's review. on 2/7/23Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts - Jacoby Hall - JacksonvilleRating: 2 out of 5

    Went to see the review at the TU Center in Jacksonville. A quartet of singers prsented the music of Parton and Rogers. The entire show, without an intermission, was about 75 minutes. A good precentage of that time was a speaker reminiscing about the song they were about to sing.
