Cirque de la Symphonie

There’s an all-new circus in town!

For the first time ever, Maestro Michael Krajewski and The Philly POPS will present a world premiere pops program featuring Cirque’s awe-inspiring physical feats of power and beauty paired with the music from blockbuster movie classics, including Star Wars, Harry Potter, Titanic, Mission Impossible, James Bond, and more. Thrill to the spectacle of acrobats, jugglers, and aerial flyers soaring high above the heads of The Philly POPS as they perform on stage. DC Metro Theater Arts describes this traveling Cirque troupe as “nothing short of breathtaking”!
