The orchestra also presents a Pops series, “Great Escapes,” a series of light classics and popular favorites, and a chamber music series.
Many specials events are presented each season including the annual gala held each year in January, and the Sarasota Music Festival held for three weeks in June.

The Florida West Coast Symphony's education program is also the most comprehensive in the state. Adults and kids of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to take a string music class or lecture class. In July students gather for a three-week music day camp, Summer at the Symphony. The Youth Orchestra Program is made up of five orchestras for music students whose talents range from beginning to the advanced.
