Short Month, Full Calendar with Artis—Naples 2025-2026 Season

February may be the shortest month of the year, but it is among the busiest across the Artis—Naples Kimberly K. Querrey and Louis A. Simpson Cultural Campus. With only three days featuring fewer than two events, the calendar spans classical, jazz, blues, rock, funk and even hip-hop, alongside stand-up comedy, dance, Broadway and a strong slate of museum exhibitions.

In The Baker Museum, Tamara de Lempicka, which explores the early 20th-century artist’s signature Art Deco style, closes February 8. There & Here: New Perspectives of the Permanent Collection, the museum’s first community co-curated exhibition, and The Passion of Collecting: Stories in Glass and Ceramics from the Sibrack Collection continue in their second month. Also on view are Florida Contemporary 2025-26, featuring four Florida-based artists, and sonia louise davis: to reverberate tenderly, a multisensory installation incorporating textile works, a mural and custom steel instruments.

Orchestral music anchors the performances in February. The Philadelphia Orchestra arrives first under Music and Artistic Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin for two performances on February 17-18: one pairing Brahms’ Third and Fourth symphonies, the other featuring Tchaikovsky’s Francesca da Rimini and Piano Concerto No. 1 with pianist Bruce Liu. Later in the month, guest violinist Stella Chen joins the Naples Philharmonic, led by Ludovic Morlot, for a Masterworks program featuring Dvořák’s Violin Concerto and Copland’s Symphony No. 3 on February 27-28.

The Naples Philharmonic Pops program The Paul Simon Songbook runs February 3-7 under the baton of guest conductor Stuart Chafetz. Chamber music offerings include a Sypert Salon program exploring the transition between Classical and Romantic styles on February 3 and 8, and a Wang Chamber Music concert on February 22 featuring pianist Min Kwon and works by Clara Schumann, Damien Geter and Brahms. Kwon also performs a recital of recently commissioned variations on America the Beautiful on February 19. And with their grace and artistry, Miami City Ballet joins the Naples Philharmonic for a performance on February 24.

Additional highlights include Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Samara Joy on February 19, Trombone Shorty on February 20, the touring Broadway production of Chicago February 10-15, an evening of standup comedy with Paul Reiser on February 26 and a range of education programs throughout the month.
