(Press Release) West Palm Beach, Fla. (July 28, 2026) – True love’s kiss will awaken a new generation of classical music lovers during Palm Beach Symphony’s original production of Sleeping Beauty and the Orchestra, featuring the music of composer Pyotr Illych Tchaikovsky.

 The magical musical fairytale will be brought to life through enchanting illustrations by South Florida-based artist and certified art educator Michelle Sherman, a Dreyfoos School of the Arts alumna. Follow Princess Beauty Hamilton, a young girl whose deep love for music leads her to a royal orchestra audition and into a dramatic curse cast by a jealous rival. As the tale unfolds, the orchestra brings her journey to life through enchanting excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s most beloved works, from the sparkling Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy to the thrilling Russian Dance to the lyrical Violin Concerto, and the sweeping drama of Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty. Blending storytelling, live orchestral performance and vivid visuals, the concert invites children into a world where music becomes magic, courage triumphs over fear and a single beautiful waltz has the power to break even the darkest of spells, awakening a sleeping princess and restoring harmony to the kingdom.
