Taylor’s Symphony Orchestra – 17th Annual Concert
Step into a world where music paints the picture and every note tells a story. For our 17th annual concert, Taylor’s Symphony Orchestra invites you on a spellbinding journey through the magic of animated cinema.
From the bustling Parisian kitchens of Ratatouille to the whimsical chases of Tom and Jerry, the soaring skies of How to Train Your Dragon, to the spirited adventures of Kung Fu Panda, these timeless tales come alive in a new way: through the power of a full symphony orchestra.
Experience beloved themes reimagined in vivid symphonic color: the sweep of strings, the shimmer of woodwinds, the golden glow of brass, and the thunder of percussion — each instrument adding its voice to breathe fresh life into unforgettable scenes. Whether you’re reliving childhood favorites or discovering them anew, Frames of Wonder: Animated Symphonies promises an evening of joy, nostalgia, and wonder for audiences of all ages.
Join us as we celebrate the artistry of animation and the music that makes it unforgettable.
