Bionic Symphony

Come experience the magic as Sympho deconstructs�and then rebuilds�The Symphony from its individual parts. Using symphonic movements from the 18th-century Classical and 20th-century Neoclassical periods, we create four �bionic� symphonies that together form the backbone of an evening-length �super-symphony,� fleshed out with some of the most haunting and evocative music written in recent decades.
