The Lakeland Center and Imperial Symphony Orchestra celebrate the Imperial Symphony Orchestra's 40th Anniversary and join forces for Music & Martinis, a special presale season kick-off event from 6:30-9:00pm on August 30th in the Youkey Theatre.

From 6:30-8:00pm, taste test and vote on the best signature martini in Polk County, while listening to live jazz in the lobby and savoring selections from Aramark's all new Center Stage Cafe.
