Come Home for the Holidays with Maestro Richard Stoelzel and The Florida Philharmonic.
The concert will feature holiday favorites as well as selections from Handel's glorious "Messiah" with the Florida Philharmonic Chorus under the direction of Dr. William Dederer. Also, enjoy the sounds of the Gulfshore Opera Youth Harmony Choir under the direction of Juliana Alfano, Gulf Shore Opera Youth Engagement Coordinator.
Hailed as “one of the foremost performers and teachers of trumpet in the US and Canada,” Richard Stoelzel maintains an active career as an international soloist, orchestral, and chamber musician. Reviewers have described his trumpet playing as "virtuosic and lyrical."
Ming Gao is the Concertmaster of The Florida Philharmonic and Associate Concertmaster of the Naples Philharmonic, with past concertmaster positions in the Nanjing Experimental Orchestra and Eastman Philharmonia, assistant concertmaster positions in Youngstown, Harrisburg symphonies, acting associate concertmaster of Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, and 1st violinist of the Pittsburgh Opera and Ballet Orchestra. He has participated in music festivals across the U.S., Germany, and China. Ming also teaches as an adjunct violin professor at Florida Gulf Coast University and has performed as a soloist with orchestras such as the Naples Philharmonic, Punta Gorda Symphony, Nanjing Experimental Orchestra, and Jiang Su Provincial Symphony Orchestra.
Gulfshore Opera's collaboration with the Florida Philharmonic, under the artistic direction of Richard Stoelzel, marks an exciting new chapter for both organizations. Together, they will bring Dvořák’s Rusalka to life and transport audiences to a world of mystery, romance, and haunting beauty. Gulfshore Opera will tour Rusalka, in the tri-county region, accompanied by Florida Philharmonic under the baton of Alexandra Enyart. This fully staged chamber opera will be presented at Burnt Store Presbyterian March 29th, 2025 in Punta Gorda. Click here to learn more.
