Grammy Award-winning conductor JoAnn Falletta, recently honored by Performance Today as its inaugural Classical Woman of the Year for her lasting impact on classical music, is among the guest conductors helming the Sarasota Orchestra’s Masterworks series this season.

Falletta will join the orchestra Dec. 6-8 at the Van Wezel for three “Roman Festivals” concerts, with works by Elgar, Bruch and Respighi. On Dec. 5, she will take the stage at Holley Hall for a Classical Conversation with host and former New York Philharmonic manager Edward Alley. Details about both are available at sarasotaorchestra.org/masterworks/roman-festivals.
