Jean Baptiste Lully: Suite from Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme
Richard Strauss: Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme
Michael Francis introduces you to these two “Would-be Gentlemen” (Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme) by different composers.
Pre-Concert Conversation: Michael Francis and Ed Parsons tell the story of Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, which uses lively and virtuosic music to poke fun at the noble class. Double the fun with two versions, by Lully and Strauss, in this weekend's Soundwaves concert, A Noble Pairing. Click here to watch.
Covid 19 Information: The coronavirus pandemic has forced The Florida Orchestra to rethink everything for our 2020/21 season – from concert repertoire to seating – so that we can bring live classical music back to Tampa Bay safely. It’s a tremendous amount of new information with different rules. We hope this guide will answer some of your questions and help you make your concert decisions.

We rely on your donations to power everything we do, and in these extraordinary times, we need your support more than ever. To make a contribution, please visit FloridaOrchestra.org/donate.
