About the event

Dynamic concerto meets animated film!

Follow a magical Sprite as they embark on a musical journey through the inner workings of an orchestra. Violin strings vibrate, brass valves slice air, and drumheads resonate. By the film’s end, the instruments of the orchestra come together like you’ve never seen before. Music written by Mason Bates. Co-created with 7-time Academy Award®-winning director/writer Gary Rydstrom and Academy Award®-nominated animator Jim Capobianco.


Recommended for all ages.


Duration: 23 minutes.


In Philharmonia Fantastique, you’ll learn about specific sections or families of the orchestra and explore some activities and thinking exercises. We hope you enjoy discovering something new and seeing all you know about the orchestra through the eyes of our mercurial Sprite!
