(VERO BEACH, FL) June 30, 2025 – There’s nothing quite so elegant—and intimate—as the music of a string quartet. Some of the world’s most beautiful music has been written for two violins, a viola and a cello. But it’s the quality of the performers that can take the experience from nice to “next level.” Get ready for a next level experience when an exceptionally talented string quartet from the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra presents Romantic Reflections at 3:00 PM on Sunday, July 13 at First Presbyterian Church, 520 Royal Palm Boulevard in Vero Beach. Carey Moorman, Space Coast Symphony Orchestra concertmaster and first violinist, will be joined by Joni Roos on violin, Michael de Jesus on viola and David Calhoun on cello. The foursome will present works by two giants of the early Romantic era, Felix Mendelssohn’s String Quartet No. 4 in E minor and Franz Schubert’s String Quartet No. 15 in G major. Mendelssohn’s 1837 work, dedicated to the Crown Prince of Sweden, exhibits the composer’s clear originality of style and emergence from the influence of Beethoven. Written in 1826, Schubert’s last quartet was published after his death and moves into new musical territory, described as “hauntingly transcendent.” Romantic Reflections is free of charge, with a suggested donation of $15. For more information, call 855-252-7276 or visit SpaceCoastSymphony.org.
Aaron T. Collins, Space Coast Symphony Orchestra Artistic Director and Conductor, knows the free concert will pack a big punch.
“These four musicians are exceptional,” said Collins. “All of them perform regularly not only in the SCSO, but with multiple other musical groups and organizations. They are pros who live for music.”
Concertgoers aged 18 and under or with a college ID are admitted free to every SCSO concert. For more information about the Space Coast Symphony’s 2025-26 Season, please visit SpaceCoastSymphony.org or call (855) 252-7276.
