Fantasia Live in ConcertColorado Symphony
Boettcher Concert Hall
Denver, CO

The symphony is usually not a place children enjoy going. That is why performances like Fantasia In Concert are a brilliant idea. The original animation is shown on screens around the concert hall while the symphony plays the classical music live.
The musical selections were taken from Fantasia and Fantasia 2000. In my opinion, they picked many of the best ones. The music is beautiful and timeless. The animation kept the attention of the kids in the audience. It was the best of all worlds.The whole experience was immersive. The kids felt they had seen a movie, the parents got to hear a classical concert.
It was a wonderful opportunity to introduce children to live classical music.
