Civic Orchestra of Jacksonville Celebrates its 10th Anniversary Season!

There are only a few more days to go until the Civic Orchestra of Jacksonville's presentation of Firebird & Other Tales on December 7th from 4:00 -5:00 PM at Potter's House International Ministries! Come and enjoy the lush orchestration of Igor Stravinsky's Berceuse and Finale from The Firebird Ballet and the patriotic strides of Morton Gould's American Salute performed by the Civic Orchestra's 70 volunteer musicians under the direction of Dr. Marguerite Richardson.

As we enter the holiday season, we are partnering with Feeding Northeast Florida to make sure that we can spread the holiday cheer to those who need it most. Feeding Northeast Florida provides food to families including active-duty and retired military members from eight counties through its partnership with local service agencies like City Rescue Mission, The Salvation Army and community organizations such as our Civic Orchestra of Jacksonville.

Please help us to help those in our community by bringing non-perishable food items to the concert. A list of acceptable items can be found by clicking the link below.
