As part of a partnership, the Palm Beach Symphony performed for the first time in history in Boca Raton during a concert at The Boca Raton.
As part of its 50th anniversary year, members of the Palm Beach Symphony chamber ensemble comprised of four string players, a flute and harp performed “A Winter Solstice” in the resort’s Cathedral, a historic and recently reimagined magnificent space showcasing grand architecture. The performance was curated and hosted by Matthew Cooperman, Palm Beach Symphony Assistant Conductor.
“We thank The Boca Raton for this incredible opportunity to perform for the first time in Boca Raton and appreciate all who attended,” said Palm Beach Symphony President and CEO David McClymont. “The intimate setting and candle lit atmosphere set the stage for a beautiful performance. This was an exciting kick off to the New Year.”
