Bridging the gap between popular culture and traditional orchestra music, The Elsewhen Orchestra brings to life some of the most loved music of our time. The Elsewhen Orchestra is made up of volunteer musicians who share a passion for breathing life into great music. The musicians include students, serious amateurs, and professionals from the southern gulf coast area.
Every themed concert features the exhilarating music found in film, video games, and television, as well as exciting romantic and modern orchestral works from some of the world’s greatest composers. Best of all, it's free!
Join us on July 12th, 2025 for our next concert, Animation Invasion. Featuring favorites from animated films.
