The Acadiana Symphony Orchestra is presenting two intimate, back-to-back concerts on Valentine’s Day with guest artist Scott Mulvahill.

The performances Track 5  of the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra's 37th Season, Live with the Symphony: The Soundtrack of Your Life.

The two performances are set for Monday, February 14th, 2022, at the Acadiana Center for the Arts in Lafayette. The 6:30pm performance is already sold out, but there are still tickets available for the 8:30pm performance.

The title of Track 5 is "All You Need is Love", and it will showcase famous classical pieces, arranged by Mariusz Smolij, the conductor of the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra. The show will also feature contemporary songs about love, adapted from modern artists including Sting and The Beatles.

Executive Director, Dana Baker said that the organization's Valentine's Day event has been gaining popularity over the years.

Baker goes on to say how delighted the Symphony is to be adding Mulvahill's talents to the evening.

This year, we’re delighted to add Scott’s tremendous artistic talent to the mix, to bring the audience an intimate evening of entertaining music.

When we spoke to Baker we could tell that there was more she wanted to share with us. When we pressed, she said, "I could tell you, but it'd be better to show you."

That's when she broke out the box and opened it up:

It is a necklace from Paul's Jewelry, and one lucky concert will be going home with it around their neck.

Guests should also be on the lookout for other giveaways that evening, including roses from Flowers and More by Dean, a gift card to Social, chocolates from Lolli's Chocolates, and a bottle of bubbly.
