About

Sinfonia Gulf Coast is a nonprofit orchestra founded in 2005 by Demetrius Fuller, who still leads it as music and artistic director. Its motto, “Your Symphony Experience…Redefined,” fits a lineup that mixes classical masterworks with tribute concerts, themed programs and dinner events. In 2026 the orchestra marked its 20th anniversary, and it reports more than 750 concerts, over 600,000 patrons and more than 250,000 children reached through its education work.

The administrative office is at 4608 Opa-Locka Ln, Suite 100, Destin, FL 32541; call 850-460-8800 or visit sinfoniagulfcoast.org. Sinfonia does not have a single home hall. Concerts are staged at venues around the Emerald Coast, so check each concert’s listing for its location.

Season 21 (2026–27), billed as running “From Broadway to Oz,” is on sale through the website. The orchestra offers $15–$25 tickets for active-duty military and their families at select concerts (as of September 2026); other ticket prices vary by concert. Some performances, such as occasional community concerts, are free and open to the public. Sinfonia also runs a youth orchestra and education programs, and its CRESCENDO! fundraising series includes vintner dinners that pair wine with live music.
