BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — In partnership with the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and Delaware North Companies Parks & Resorts, Inc., the Brevard Symphony Orchestra will make history by presenting the first-ever symphonic concert under a space shuttle.
BSO Music Director and Principal Conductor Christopher Confessore has officially announced Symphonic Odyssey, a once-in-a-lifetime concert experience beneath Space Shuttle Atlantis. This epic performance will take place on Saturday, March 22, 2014, at 8 pm, at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.
“A visit to the new Space Shuttle Atlantis attraction is truly awe-inspiring. It will be a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform a concert of “out of this world” space-inspired music beneath Atlantis,” stated Confessore.
“I can’t wait to hear the iconic Star Wars Theme reverberate throughout the building as the sound of the orchestra reflects off the base of Atlantis. As orchestra of the Space Coast for six decades – this event is a perfect way to celebrate the Brevard Symphony Orchestra’s 60th Anniversary Season!”
