GO Free Bandshell Concert Series

Journey through the Americas

Gulfshore Opera announces a “dream come true”: Journey through the Americas, a free outdoor concert tour across Southwest Florida from May 14–18, made possible by the generous support of the Collier Community Foundation and Cape Coral Community Foundation. This long-envisioned project by GO’s General Director, Steffanie Pearce, brings professional artists to local bandstands, offering vibrant performances at Marco Island’s Veteran’s Park, Cambier Park, and Babcock Ranch.

The concert features the dynamic GO Divas vocal ensemble alongside the Cuban jazz trio Latin Infusion. Audiences will enjoy fresh, lively interpretations of American classics by Bob Dylan and James Taylor, as well as spirited renditions of Latin favorites like Guantanamera and Oye como va. Blending rich harmonies and infectious rhythms, the concert celebrates the diverse musical heritage of both continents.

These free concerts support GO’s mission of community engagement and provide accessible cultural experiences to all. As a special highlight, the GO Harmony Choir—featuring local youth—will join the Divas onstage for America the Beautiful, creating unforgettable moments for both performers and audiences.  

*Journey through the Americas will also be performed at St. Leo Auditorium in Bonita Springs and the Gulf Theater in Punta Gorda for those seeking a traditional theater setting with reserved seating.
