Philharmonia Fantastique

Follow a magical sprite on a musical journey where animation meets live action! This special multimedia concerto portrays the four families of the orchestra alongside a charming animated film, demonstrating how all the diverse instruments come together to make an orchestra.

Philharmonia Fantastique was written by composer Mason Bates, and co-created with director Gary Rydstrom and animation director Jim Capobianco.
