Â鶹ӳ»´«Ã½ Celebrates the Arts 2016 \u2013 a free festival of music, performances and visual displays \u2013 combines an abundance of arts and talent that would weigh down an actual marquee.<\/p>\n
The festival, which is all open to the public, reprises its second season April 8-16 at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Orlando with an extended program of student and faculty presentations and collaborations.<\/p>\n
Two more days of events have been added to this year\u2019s festival, which will feature offerings from more than 1,000 university students and 100 faculty members and include some collaborative programs with outside partners.<\/p>\n
The festival will showcase the talents of the university\u2019s artists and practitioners in theatre, dance, orchestra, choirs, big band, chamber music, cabaret, concert bands, opera, visual arts, studio art, gaming, animation, photography and film.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s even a concert that organizers think may be the first of its kind: a presentation geared exclusively for expectant parents. (An ambulance will be on hand if needed to respond to any pregnant women who may\u00a0go into labor!)<\/p>\n
