The Orlando Philharmonic PresentsThe Springs 2008 - Dancing with the Stars
THE SPRINGS 2008
Dancing Under the Stars
Saturday, May 3, 8:00 PM

Spring is just around the corner and that means it’s time to join the Orlando Philharmonic for The Springs 2008, Dancing Under the Stars, on Saturday, May 3, 8:00 p.m. at the beautiful Springs Community located  in Longwood, just off W. SR 434.

The Springs is an annual concert tradition. Now in its fifth year, this year’s event, Dancing Under the Stars, promises to be more entertaining than ever as the Orlando Philharmonic gets into the ballroom dance craze sweeping across America. You’ll hear a variety of contemporary and classic dance music like the lively and flirtatious cha cha, the smooth sounds of the foxtrot, the swinging sounds of the jive, the sensuous sounds of the Latin dances – like the mambo, samba, and tango, and the music of the ever-popular and elegant waltz.

Principal Pops and Resident Conductor Andrew Lane returns to conduct the orchestra in this outdoor celebration. Featured vocalist Michelle Amato lends her musical talents to some of your favorite tunes. And because this event falls on Kentucky Derby day, hats and Derby-themed picnics are encouraged!

This special concert event sells out each year, so order your tickets early. Remember, VIP tickets are limited and usually sell out first. There are several ticketing options.
  • General Admission tickets allow you to bring your own picnic basket packed with your favorite picnic foods and drinks or you can purchase gourmet fare from your favorite restaurant or Petty’s Meats and Specialty Foods located at the event entrance.
