THE SYMPHONIA ANNOUNCES “MUSIC AT THE MARRIOTT”
First Live Concert of the Season
Missing live performances? We all are! To fill this void, The SYMPHONIA, South Florida’s world-class chamber orchestra, is planning its first live concert of the season following all CDC guidelines. “Music at the Marriott,” will be performed in the Grand Oasis Ballroom of the Boca Marriott, 5150 Town Center Circle, Boca Raton on Sunday, December 6, at 3 p.m. Principal Conductor Alastair Willis will conduct.
An all-string reduced-sized orchestra will perform, enabling the musicians to socially distance on the stage. In addition, guest seating will be spatially distanced, per recommended CDC guidelines, and masks will be required for both musicians and guests. The concert will be approximately one hour in length, without an intermission.
The holiday-themed program will include:
CORELLI Christmas Concerto / Violin Soloists, Dina Kostic & Mei Mei Luo
VIVALDI ‘Winter’ from The Four Seasons / Violin Soloist, Mei Mei Luo
WALKER Lyric for Strings
MOZART Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
“While the Boca Raton Marriott’s Grand Oasis Ballroom is not a theater in the traditional sense, its spacious dimensions offer the best possible solution for presenting live performances during these challenging times,” said Annabel Russell, The Symphonia’s Executive Director. “With fewer musicians on the stage and fewer audience members, The Symphonia is prioritizing safety while presenting an exceptional musical performance, just in time for the holidays. We all need something to look forward to and a sense that things can and will get better. From our new temporary performance space, The Symphonia will be able to accommodate approximately 150 audience members per concert. If there is a demand, we have the option of playing two concerts in one day, with appropriate venue sanitization between concerts.”
The Boca Raton Marriott is operating under CDC guidelines and following best practices for Covid-19, within the policies and procedures set by the Florida Governor and the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association. There will be a dedicated entrance from outside into the ballroom, eliminating the need to go through the hotel. To avoid lines, audience members may use the restroom facilities at any time during the concert.
While those who have already subscribed for the season will be given first rights for seats, we expect that there will be a limited number of tickets available to the general public. Those interested in attending may contact The Symphonia to have their names placed on a wait list.
