CdA Symphony goes to the movies

The Coeur d’Alene Symphony is borrowing from the silver screen for its first concert of 2015, with songs from movies including “Frozen” and “The Hobbit.”

This year the members of the Coeur d’Alene Youth Orchestra will perform with the symphony, and the St. George’s School Chorus will provide vocals for “Mamma Mia” and “Skyfall.”

The symphony’s January concert is typically one for the family, said Steve Sibulsky, a symphony board member. “It’s usually fairly light-hearted,” he said.

“It’s just a fun family concert, if you like movies come enjoy a different approach to movie music,” he said.

But it’s not a singalong, so don’t be ready to “Let It Go.”

Though, “they probably could if they wanted to,” Sibulsky said of children singing along to “Frozen” songs. “I don’t think anyone would think any less of them.”

Youths 17 and younger can receive a free ticket to the concert with a paying adult. Tickets must be reserved by phone by Thursday. Call (208) 660-2958.
