Meet the Orchestra: Petting Zoo for Instruments, Boca Raton

Have your kids ever touched a cello or wondered how the music gets into and out of a brass instrument? Did you know that The Symphonia offers children the opportunity to see the instruments and people who play them up close and personal at the dress rehearsal, on the Saturday before each orchestra concert?

And the best part is the program is free for children; adults pay only $5. Non-profit groups can attend free of charge.

For more details and information on Meet the Orchestra, email info@thesymphonia.org, call 561-376-3848 or visit TheSymphonia.org.
