Creative City Project presents "The Seasons" (Creative City Project)

ORLANDO, Fla. – The makers of Orlando’s Creative City Project are set to present an immersive orchestral extravaganza at the historic Cheyenne Saloon and Opera House next month.

After the success of the organization’s immersive concert in 2022, during which the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra brought Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons” to life with smells, tastes and large-scale projections, the masterminds are ready to bring something new.

A vast variety of creatives will be featured at this show, including director Aradhana Tiwari, choreographer Holly Harris, music director Eric Jacobsen, composer Julian Bond and creative director Cole NeSmith.
