    Mission Overview

    Enlist in Symphonic Starforce, board the Sonic Spaceship, and set a course for intergalactic adventure!

    The galaxy is in danger: The villainous Lieutenant Tritone is stealing the three legendary Orb Crystals that maintain peace and order among the star systems. Along with Cadet (“Captain”) Enrico and the autonomous bot A440, the audience is recruited by the Starforce General to employ musical maneuvers in a cosmic race to thwart Lieutenant Tritone. The new crew boards the Sonic Spaceship and musically travels to distant planets to secure the Orb Crystals. During their mission, the cadets must repair the ship’s Rhythm Reactor and Dynamic Thruster, as well as navigate a treacherous Pitch Propulsion Field in order to save the galaxy from total destruction.  

    The Symphony in Space  concert features classic and modern orchestral favorites. Paired with dynamic visuals and video it is an irresistibly engaging journey!

    Concert is suitable for ages 4-12, but all ages are welcome!
    Admission is free, reserve your tickets with the link below. All seating is general admission.
