Palm Beach Symphony Debuts 'Cinderella and the Orchestra' Children's Concert

By Dan’s Palm Beach

Palm Beach Symphony brings another Dale A. McNulty Children’s Concert Series to the stage with Cinderella and the Orchestra this Saturday, October 26 at 3 p.m. in the Eissey Campus Theater on the Palm Beach State College campus, 11051 Campus Drive in Palm Beach Gardens.

Under the baton of Music Director Gerard Schwarz, Palm Beach Symphony brings to life a fresh take on this much-loved tale set to the music of Ottorino Respighi’s “Gli uccelli” (The Birds) with an original story, script and narration by his wife, musician and award-winning author Jody Schwarz. The performance is visually enhanced by 10 original illustrations created by the talented visual artist Renata Rodrigues, framing the stage and enriching the experience.

In this performance, the audience meets Ella, a talented musician who secretly practices the flute in the toolshed away from her stepmother and stepsisters. Her story, with music by Italian composer Ottorino Respighi, comes with a musical twist.
