FLORIDA INTERGENERATIONAL ORCHESTRA PRESENTS “THE COLORS OF MUSIC”
Concert Celebrates the Colors of the Rainbow and Their Influence on Music
Boca Raton, Florida (March 8, 2016) — On Sunday, April 24 at 3:00pm the Florida Intergenerational Orchestra under the direction of founder/conductor Lorraine Marks-Field, the orchestra for everyone, will perform its last concert of the season, “The Colors of Music,” at O’Shea Hall on the grounds of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, 22094 Lyons Road, Boca Raton. Tickets are $10 for adults, and free for those under the age of 12. Seating is general admission but is limited, so please call 561-482-8206 in advance to assure a seat.
Entitled “The Colors of Music,” the concert promises to be especially engaging, as this performance features conductor Lorraine Marks-Field’s young students from the Childrens’ House of Boca Raton Montessori Schools participating in a special arrangement of “Sing a Rainbow” and “The Colors of My Life.” This special work will be sung by “The Skipper” and children from the school, ages 3 to 6. It was arranged by the world-renowned musical arranger, Hector Garrido, especially for this concert. Mr. Garrido has arranged for Gloria Estefan, The Miami Sound Machine, and numerous other celebrities. The concert will be filled with other colorful music such as Over the Rainbow, Blue Moon, Blue Tango, Blue Danube. Also featured will be vocalist Vince Zabik singing in his own engaging style, which is usually full of surprises.
This remarkable orchestra comprised of musicians spanning the ages of 9-96 has delighted local audiences for more than eleven years. The gifted conductor, Lorraine Marks-Field, semi-finalist this year for the American Prize in conducting a Community Orchestra, deftly blends the different abilities of the members of the orchestra. (The American Prize in Conducting recognizes and rewards the best orchestral, choral, band/wind ensemble, opera and musical theater conductors in America in 2016.)
Florida Intergenerational Orchestra concerts are engaging and fun for the whole family; everyone leaves with a smile and has a great time.
There will be a pre-concert talk at 2:30 P.M. where you can meet and greet the performers on a personal basis, and learn how the orchestra “bridges the generations through music.”
