Charlotte Symphony’s ‘Cirque de Noel’

The gravity-defying feats performed by Cirque De Noel’s aerialists, gymnasts, jugglers and strongmen will be matched by the musical acrobatics performed by the Charlotte Symphony. Past Cirque and Symphony match-ups have featured mimes, contortionists, dancers and a hand-balancing act, complemented by Alan Silvestri’s Suite from ‘The Polar Express,’ the Troika from Sergei Prokofiev’s ‘Lt. Kije Suite,’ and Duke Ellington’s take on ‘The Nutcracker Suite.’
