After spending $14 million for a vacant 32-acre site earlier in 2023, the Sarasota Orchestra continues to make progress on its plan to relocate east of downtown. 

Planned features for the site at 5701 Fruitville Road, just west of Interstate 75, include an 1,800-seat concert hall to specifically showcase acoustic music; a 700-seat flexible-use performance space; multiple rehearsal and practice rooms; music storage; and office space.
