Music To Their Ears

It's been two years since The Symphonia hosted Meet The Orchestra — a hands-on program for kids ages 6-12.

But the interlude is over — and the interactive program is back for the orchestra’s 2022-23 season.

The educational program, which gives kids a chance to meet the musicians and play instruments at the Instrument Petting Zoo, is scheduled for Nov. 12, March 25 and April 29 from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. at Roberts Theater at St. Andrew’s School in Boca Raton.

“Families and their children are invited to attend the orchestra’s Saturday rehearsal to meet musicians and play various instruments at the Instrument Petting Zoo,” explains a press release.

“The theme of The Symphonia’s upcoming season is ‘Inspired Naturally,’ based on Terra Nostra, an award-winning multimedia symphony by Christophe Chagnard and produced by Earth Creative that combines mind-blowing visuals with the power of symphonic music and explores the impact and challenges of climate change. The December concert will feature the film, by Charlie Spears, as a backdrop to the live performance in a powerful, sensory experience. It will be the world premiere of Terra Nostra, re-written for a chamber orchestra.”
