Coffee & Cocktails with the Conductor
Enjoy a cup of coffee or refreshing cocktail with Matthew Wardell, Ocala Symphony conductor, as he leads an in-depth discussion about the pieces and composers that will be featured at the Ocala Symphony subscription concerts. Coffee/cocktails with the conductor is free, and you do not need a ticket to the concert to attend – but we think by the end of session you will want to be there to experience the music!
