ABOUT JACK SMINK

As a young man, Jack’s unique voice naturally led him to sing Elvis’s music.

Initially, in 1976, Jack thought it would be fun to sing an Elvis song at a local church festival. His Elvis-like look and voice made the job easy. The crowd loved it, and Jack’s future as an Elvis tribute artist was set.

Now he travels throughout the United States and Europe, performing his Unfinished Business Elvis tribute show in both large and small auditoriums, including a seven-year run at his own Las Vegas-style showroom.

During those years, Jack was privileged to meet and work with many of Elvis’s friends, band members, and family, including Joe Esposito, JD Sumner, DJ Fontana, Dick Grob, Sherrill Neilson, The Sweet Inspirations, and many more.

A few of those meetings have turned into cherished friendships. Some have appeared with Jack and his band as special guests, always sharing stories of the time they spent with Elvis.

The SCSO is a lively and passionate Central Florida orchestra comprised of professional musicians, music educators and mentored amateurs of exceptional ability. The Orchestra was formed by Conductor and Artistic Director Aaron T. Collins with a two-fold mission: to provide mentoring and performance opportunities for Florida’s finest young musicians as well as to provide professional concerts at genuinely affordable prices.

The ultimate goal of the organization is to help ensure the symphonic tradition for the enjoyment of future generations. The SCSO is dedicated to supporting the work of living composers and shining a light on new music. By performing and commissioning today’s brightest composers, the SCSO brings fresh, exhilarating sounds to life in the concert hall. Roughly thirty percent of all SCSO performances include a work by living composers, many of whom call Florida home.

The SCSO actively promotes diversity by programming works by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color composers. Since 2009, the SCSO has presented dozens of World Premieres and Southeastern U.S. Premieres.

Aaron T. Collins continues to garner recognition for his achievements. LEAD Brevard named the ambitious Collins one of their ‘4 under 40’ Young Professionals, the youngest-ever recipient of the honor. Space Coast Business magazine listed him as one of Brevard’s ‘100 Most Admired Businesspeople.’

Collins is a past recipient of the Richard A. Stark Award for cultural leadership from the Cultural Council of Indian River County. Through his personal involvement with more than a dozen performing arts groups, pioneering reciprocal ad program, and social media cross promotions, Collins has gained a reputation for generosity, championing other arts organizations throughout Central Florida for the cultural enrichment of the community.

School-aged children 18 years and under are admitted free of charge, as are college students with a valid ID. In keeping with their mission, the symphony offers a unique Symphony for Everyone ticketing program. This pay-what-you-can option provides substantially discounted admission to any Space Coast Symphony concert.

Relying on a non-traditional orchestra model and a slim budget, the Space Coast Symphony Orchestra is one of only a handful of U.S. orchestras to perform year-round. The nonprofit organization also maintains the Space Coast Symphony JAZZ Orchestra and the Space Coast Symphony Wind Orchestra, with several free performances each year.
