Long Beach Symphony and The Rumba Foundation To Present Dan Brown’s WILD SYMPHONY in September
The family concert will feature narration, projections, and pre-show activities with kids admitted free.
Long Beach Symphony, in partnership with the RuMBa Foundation Family Concert Series, will present Wild Symphony, the acclaimed musical work by #1 New York Times bestselling author Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at the Terrace Theater. Music Director Eckart Preu will conduct, with narration by Jamieson Price and whimsical projections that bring the story to life.
The one-hour concert introduces audiences to Maestro Mouse and his animal friends in a playful, multi-sensory adventure combining music, poetry, and storytelling. Aimed at children and families, Wild Symphony invites audiences to discover the joy of orchestral music while celebrating creativity and imagination.
“Wild Symphony perfectly reflects our mission—engaging, imaginative, and filled with moments that spark curiosity about orchestral music,” said Long Beach Symphony President Kelly Ruggirello. “Through the RuMBa Foundation Family Concerts, we are building bridges between music and young audiences.”
Author and composer Dan Brown added: “Music was a secret sanctuary for me as a child… With Wild Symphony, I wanted to create a magical world of pictures and poetry aimed at a new generation of young people.”
