Florida Intergenerational Orchestra’s 12th Season

Open House, Youth Scholarships and 

“A Season of Celebrations”stephen-fisch

 

Boca Raton, Florida-On Thursday, October 6th and 13th the Florida Intergenerational Orchestra will be having an open house for all musicians, and youth scholarship auditions for those new musicians under the age of 18 from 7 to 9 P.M. at Edgewater Point Estates, in the ballroom on the second floor at 23315 Bluewater Circle (corner of SW 18th St. and Powerline Rd)  Boca Raton, Florida 33433.

This remarkable orchestra comprised of musicians spanning the ages of 9-96 has over the past eleven years delighted audiences.  The gifted founder/conductor, Lorraine Marks-Field, semi-finalist this year for the American Prize in conducting a Commmunity Orchestra, deftly blends the different abilities of the members of the orchestra. . The FLIOA breaks the boundaries of the usual orchestra concert and redefines the stereotypes about orchestra musicians.  Florida Intergenerational Orchestra concerts are engaging and fun for the whole family; everyone leaves with a smile.

The orchestra will also commence its 12th season, a season of celebration, with its opening concert “Celebrate the Holidays with Love”on Sunday, December 11th, with a pre-concert talk  (at all the concerts), hosted by its celebrated conductor, Lorraine Marks-Field, at 2:30 P.M. followed by the concert at 3 P.M. at O’Shea Hall on the grounds of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, located at 22094 Lyons Road (corner of Lyons and Palmetto.)  The initial Celebration, the first of the trilogy, will celebrate the best holiday music Hanukah and Christmas of our time,  and also the 50th Anniversary of two of our prominent orchestra members, who will renew their vows during the concert.  This shouldn’t be missed and tickets will be hard to come by, so make your reservations in advance. Tickets are $10 for adults, children under 12 are free.  Doors open at 2:15 p.m.Call at 561-482-8206.
