Dale A. McNulty Children’s Concert | Sleeping Beauty and the Orchestra

Step into a magical musical fairytale with the Palm Beach Symphony, conducted by Music Director Gerard Schwarz, narrated by Jody Schwarz, and brought to life through enchanting illustrations by Michelle Sherman. This children’s concert follows Princess Beauty Hamilton, a young girl whose deep love for music leads her to a royal orchestra audition and into a dramatic curse cast by a jealous rival. As the tale unfolds, the orchestra brings her journey to life through enchanting excerpts from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s most beloved works, from the sparkling “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” to the thrilling “Russian Dance,” the lyrical Violin Concerto, and the sweeping drama of Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. Blending storytelling, live orchestral performance, and vivid visuals, the concert invites children into a world where music becomes magic, courage triumphs over fear, and a single beautiful waltz has the power to break even the darkest spells, awakening a sleeping princess and restoring harmony to the kingdom.
