Space Coast Symphony Orchestra offers Orchestral Fireworks on July 21, 3pm
1901 23rd St ~ Vero Beach, FL 32960
Fireworks indoors?! Indeed! The quintessential love theme, Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy is full of sweeping melodies that perfectly evoke the breathless passion of the two young lovers. When Prokofiev premiered his Fifth Symphony in 1945—conducting it himself in the Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory—Prokofiev considered it the culminating accomplishment of his career, conceived “as glorifying the grandeur of the human spirit … praising the free and happy man—his strength, his generosity, and the purity of his soul.” Others had even higher praise: after the U.S. premiere by Serge Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony, Prokofiev was pictured on the cover of Time magazine, and Koussevitzky called the work “the greatest musical event in many, many years. The greatest since Brahms and Tchaikovsky! It is magnificent! It is yesterday, it is today, it is tomorrow.” The concert is rounded out with the Southern United States premiere of Daniel Perttu’s Valor, a powerful and lyrical work about heroism, including the battles heroes face.

ZOTO returns to McKee Botanical Garden with a new stone balancing exhibit ‘BEYOND THE ORDINARY’ on view through September 8.
ZOTO invites you to connect with these pieces and reflect on how, as the world spins at 1,000 MPH, balance and harmony are maintained. This exhibit serves as a metaphor for discovering and recognizing the balance within yourself and to believe in your own ability to go beyond the ordinary.
Complementing the “Beyond the Ordinary” exhibit, ZOTO has created paintings inspired by the exhibit’s theme, which will be displayed in the historic Hall of Giants. ZOTO’s paintings, which he describes as Classical Surrealism, blend classical painting techniques with contemporary surrealism to produce works of profound meaning. These original paintings are created using unique methods with handmade oil paints by Williamsburg.
For those interested in learning more about stone balancing, ZOTO will host a special event on Saturday, August 3, from 11am – 12:30pm in the Royal Palm Grove at McKee Botanical Garden. The demonstration will cover techniques such as setting a base, selecting stones, visualizing balance points, and identifying equilibrium lines. Following the demonstration, guests will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on session with smaller stones, where ZOTO will provide individual guidance. Attendees are advised to bring a water bottle, wear sneakers or closed-toe shoes, and bring bug spray.
