You Get Rhythm

Meet the Orchestra is an interactive program for children, their parents, and their grandparents, exploring music and its instruments.

Today's program will begin with a musical rhythm game, where children will learn to create basic rhythm patterns.

  • The children will watch The Symphonia perform Zwilich's Double Concerto for Violin and Cello and Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
  • This week's guest conductor, James Judd, will speak to students about the music and the role of a conductor in the ensemble.
  • Elissa Lee Koljonen and Yumi Kendall, the Violin and Cello soloists will speak with the children and demonstrate their instruments.

Prefer to speak to a person? Call our box office at (561) 376-3848, or email tickets@thesymphonia.org.

We are always happy to help you via phone or email to make your seat selections.

Working with the Symphonia was a joy! What a flexible, sensitive group of musicians who are clearly "all in," making music at a very high level. It was a pleasure to perform with them and I look forward to future collaborations.
