The Florida Orchestra is a professional performing arts organization based in St. Petersburg, in the Tampa Bay area, with a history rooted in regional orchestral tradition. Formed from a 1960s merger of the Tampa Philharmonic and the St. Petersburg Symphony, it operated for years as the Florida Gulf Coast Symphony before adopting its current name in 1984, and it has been led by several music directors since then. The orchestra serves a broad audience through Masterworks and Pops concerts and has implemented accessibility initiatives to broaden ticket access. In June 2026, The Mockingbird Foundation awarded a $10,000 grant to expand its Detention Center Strings program, an effort to engage vulnerable youth with classical music.
