The Florida Orchestra's Raymond James Pops series marks John Williams's 95th birthday with selections from Star Wars, Harry Potter and more of his film scores, conducted by Lawrence Loh. The concert plays twice: Friday, October 30 at 7:30 pm at the Straz Center's Ferguson Hall in Tampa, and Sunday, November 1 at 2 pm at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Petersburg. The Sunday matinee is the easier pick for younger children. For all Pops concerts the orchestra offers $20 advance tickets for young people ages 5-18, available only through The Florida Orchestra Ticket Center at 727.892.3337 (restrictions apply). All sales are final.
