“A Season of Celebrations”

This remarkable orchestra comprised of musicians spanning the ages of 9-96 has over the past eleven years delighted audiences.

The FLIOA breaks the boundaries of the usual orchestra concert and redefines the stereotypes about orchestra musicians. Florida Intergenerational Orchestra concerts are engaging and fun for the whole family; everyone leaves with a smile.
