FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The Symphony Society’s 64th Season to celebrate the start of the new year with a performance by the Toronto Symphony and a new partnership with the Boys & Girls Club!
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida (December 14, 2015) – The Daytona Beach Symphony Society’s 64th Season at the Peabody Auditorium (600 Auditorium Blvd), Daytona Beach, continues on Friday, January 8th at 7:00pm with Canada’s foremost symphonic ensemble, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra!
Celebrating its 93rd Season, the Toronto Symphony Orchestra will feature Jan Lisiecki, on piano. Heralded by the New York Times as a “pianist who makes every note count,” Lisiecki is a rising star in classical music. Conducted by Peter Oundjian, the Program will feature Scheherazade, Op. 35, by Rimsky-Korsakov, and selections from Estacio and Beethoven.
“And we are happy to announce that on January 8th, we also launch a new partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Volusia/Flagler Counties, building upon and extending the inspiring and artistic success of our YES! (Youth Experiencing Symphony) Program with Volusia County Schools, now in its 20th year.”
“It has been shown that exposing children to many different art forms is an effective form of nurturing the intellectual process. Often children discover their giftedness through an awakening that occurs through life experiences,” adds Darla Otey, Director of Development at The Boys & Girls Club of Volusia/Flagler Counties.“The Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia/Flagler Counties is committed to providing our members with as much positive exposure as possible. We believe our partnership with the Daytona Beach Symphony Society will allow us to do just that.”
