The 32nd Annual Fine Arts For Ocala’s Symphony Under the Stars event on Mother’s Day at the Ocala Golf Club featured live music, headlined by the Ocala Symphony Orchestra. The performance was punctuated by a firework display as the orchestra played the 1812 Overture and Stars and Stripes Forever. Hundreds attended the event which raised money for the annual Ocala Arts Festival scheduled for Oct. 23-24.

Stewart Kitts, the Ocala Symphony Orchestra’s concert master, played the violin during Sunday’s performance.
