Just weeks before the season begins, The Florida Orchestra is adding JAWS in Concert to its blockbuster “September to Remember” lineup, the orchestra announced. In celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary, audiences can relive the thrilling suspense of JAWS as The Florida Orchestra performs the iconic score live in sync with the film projected on the big screen. Two performances are coming to the Mahaffey Theater on Sept. 27 and 28, including a Sunday matinee. Tickets to JAWS in Concert and all 2025-26 season concerts are on sale now at FloridaOrchestra.org.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the concert hall... The original summer movie blockbuster, with an Academy Award®-winning score by composer John Williams, JAWS is an unforgettable film-with-live-orchestra experience! Directed by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg, JAWS set the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and forever changing the movie industry.
When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town’s chief of police, a young marine biologist and a grizzled shark hunter embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again. Featuring an unforgettable score that evokes pure terror, JAWS remains one of the most influential and gripping adventures in motion picture history.
Now for the first time, audiences can experience the power of The Florida Orchestra performing the entire score in sync with one of the greatest motion pictures of all time. In the words of Chief Brody, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat!”
