FORT MYERS, FLA., May 15, 2023 – Internationally-acclaimed performers from the Ukraine, Spain, Bulgaria and Canada will headline the five concerts planned for 2024 by the Fort Myers Community Concert Association.

Tickets are now on sale for the five-performance season, which organizers say brings the best in symphony orchestras, song and dance to Southwest Florida.  All performances will be at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall on the Florida SouthWestern State College campus in Fort Myers.

“We are so happy to continue with a full slate of performances for our 2024 season,” said Community Concert Association President Mary Lee Mann.  “Community Concert Association members and guests will love seeing the Kyiv Virtuosi Symphony Orchestra from the Ukraine as well as our other artists from around the world.”

All five concerts are included in one ticket price, which ranges from $165 for prime orchestra and mezzanine seats to $155 for other orchestra and mezzanine seats, $85 for lower balcony seating and just $65 for upper balcony.  There is limited $165 orchestra seating still available, Mann said.
