Unsure what to do with your time now that the holiday season has passed? Symphoria, the professional symphony orchestra in Central New York, is embarking on the second half of its season with 15 more exciting concerts complete with music from Broadway stars, classic Disney films and the the epic Star Wars movies. If you know me and my love for all things Disney and Star Wars, you should know that I will be in attendance at both of those shows – and I cannot wait! My husband and I, along with some friends, attended the Cirque de la Symphonie show a couple of months ago and it was incredible. Whenever we get together with them, we still talk about it! (You can read more about that performance here.) I am also planning on attending the Wicked Divas show, and will be sure to let you guys know all about it!
