This fall, the sounds of Central Florida came alive through the Live + Local Music Season, a celebration of culture, connection, and creativity produced by United Arts of Central Florida in partnership with Visit Orlando.

From September through October, audiences experienced 100+ performances that brought folk, Latin jazz, Afrobeat, classical, and more to stages and community spaces across the region. Local talent shared the spotlight with international artists, creating a season that showcased the diversity and vibrancy of our music scene.

Our Director of Cultural Tourism, Thali Sugisawa, shared the story with WESH 2 News, showing how United Arts is making art, and music, thrive across our community. 🎥 Watch the full story here
