“Your Brain on Music”
14th Season of the Florida Intergenerational Orchestra Opening Concert Stimulates Your Mind
Boca Raton, Florida-On Sunday, January 27th, 3:00 P.M. The Florida Intergenerational Orchestra, the orchestra for everyone, will perform its first concert of the 14thseason at O’Shea Hall on the grounds of Our Lady of Lourdes Church, 22094 Lyons Road, Boca Raton. Entitled “Your Brain on Music,” the concert promises to be especially engaging with the audience participating and assisting the orchestra with Leroy Anderson’s “Syncopated Clock”—the audience gets the clock ticking! Also the hall will bounce to the crashes of “The Thunder and Lighting Polka, and the Radetsky March.” Especially exciting will be the orchestra’s rendition of “Phantom of the Opera” with a guest appearance by Julia Langley, who has sung extensively with the Cirque De Soleil, joining our phantom, Vince Zabik. There will be many other great selections, so grab hold of your kids, your friends and your significant others and come on down to O’Shea Hall for a great time.
“If you want to keep your brain engaged throughout the aging process, listening to or playing music is a great tool.”
This remarkable orchestra comprised of musicians spanning the ages of 8 to100 has over the past 13 years delighted audiences. The gifted and award winning conductor, Lorraine Marks-Field, deftly blends the different abilities of the members of the orchestra. 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.”
Tickets are $10 for adults, and free for those under the age of 12.
