Junkyard Symphony strives to promote environmental health and awareness through educational and extraordinary entertainment by reusing old
ordinary objects that would otherwise be sadly destined for the junkyard. But to Junkyard Symphony, however, these objects are terrific treasures that can
be reused for an even greater purpose.... creating lots of big smiles. In the show, the performers are the conductors while the audience is the symphony so be prepared for a radical ride of rapid rhythms, awesome antics, clownish comedy, terrific tricks, magnificent magic,
tons of talent, and plenty of participation!
Junkyard Symphony originated in
Ottawa, Canada
in 1992.
