14 Nov ‘Earth to Boca’ Strikes A Cord For Climate Change
The Symphonia has announced a new community event, ‘EARTH TO BOCA,’ taking place on Saturday, December 3 at 7:00 p.m. in Boca Raton. The event is a celebration of music and nature, designed to draw attention to Boca’s dedicated local environmental organizations who work tirelessly on behalf of the preservation of the community, its resources, and its habitat.
The evening begins with a mini-eco fair featuring seven local organizations and the City of Boca Raton’s Sustainability Office. Guests can ‘meet and mingle’ with the organizations and discuss topics of interest regarding the environment. Participants include Boca Raton Office of Sustainability, Community Greening, Gumbo Limo, Habitat for Humanity, and Solar United Neighbors
The highlight of the evening will be the performance of Terra Nostra, a classical composition re-created for chamber orchestras by Christophe Chagnard and debuted by The Symphonia, with the eponymous, award-winning documentary film as a stunning backdrop. Terra Nostra combines astounding environmental visuals and the power of classical music to explore the impact and challenges of climate change. The evening closes with a panel of representatives from each of the featured environmental partners, offering a Q&A with audience members.
‘EARTH TO BOCA’ will be held at Roberts Theater at Saint Andrew’s School, 3900 Jog Rd, Boca Raton, on December 3 at 7:00 p.m. General admission tickets are $25 per person, and VIP tickets including a private reception are $75 per person, and can be purchased here.
