Fanning the Flame with The Symphonia

The Symphonia will celebrate the elemental nature of music with “Inspired Naturally,” a new season of concerts based on Christophe Chagnard’s award-winning multimedia symphony Terra Nostra, and named for the elements. The four performances kick off November 13 with “Fire,” featuring conductor and violin soloist Andrés Cárdenes, who will lead the Boca Raton–based orchestra through Russell Peck’s Signs of Life II, Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 59 (aka the Fire Symphony), and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 5. Each piece evokes the dazzling and unpredictable movement of flame, enhanced by visual production by Earth Creative. Tickets are $55-$90.

The Symphonia will also host its first Meet the Orchestra program November 12 after a two-year hiatus. Symphonia fans aged 6 to 12 are invited to the orchestra’s Saturday rehearsal to meet the musicians and try their hands at various instruments. Both events will be held at Roberts Theater at Saint Andrew’s School in Boca Raton.
