Charles D Walters Theatre on the Square – Gainesville
Join us for an unforgettable evening of the SEYA 2025 Summer Festival.
The centerpiece of the evening features soprano Nicole Heinen (Opera Louisiane) in a stunning performance of Samuel Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 — a nostalgic, lyrical tribute to childhood memory, set against the soft hush of a Southern summer evening. Heinen’s luminous voice and intimate interpretation breathe life into Barber’s poetic masterpiece.
The program also features a vibrant mix of orchestral and chamber works that reflect the festival’s theme, In the Wake of Dreams — exploring longing, reflection, and joy.
