About Junkyard Symphony
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.
Junkyard Symphony is an eco-entertainment company (eco standing for ecological and economical), that reuses junk to service all kinds of events for all ages. What do they do with all this junk?
They do many things with junk but are best known for their excellent energetic eco shows . They also create
big bodacious board games by reusing junk materials. They run a school of drums and percussion.
They have created several CD's using junk for instruments, and are presently working on a children's novel with a junk theme.
Their
family style shows
are perfect for community, schools, festivals and corporate events. They are suited to all ages and are as entertaining as they are educational. The shows are generally performed as a duo, but trio or quartet shows are also available.
There are
two full time show leaders, Junkyard Jonny and Recycle Ross, so two shows can occur at the same time.
There are also
various show versions and show lengths, to cater to the diferent themes and needs of the client.
Junkyard Symphony has performed thousands of shows over the years. They have also peformed in many countries around the globe such as Singapore, China, Britain, France, Macedonia, Croatia, U.S.A., and of course Canada.
They have performed for important people such as the Prime Minister of Canada, the President of Singapore, The Governor of Jiangsu Province in China, and music celebrities such as the Tragically Hip,
Sheryl Crow and Ziggy Marley. They have won first place in the Canadian Association of Exhibitions National Youth Talent Contest and they have been featured on many television programs such as CBC's JONOVISION, CTV's Home Grown Cafe and CTV's Regional Contact.
Most of all they have spread smiles and their message to

Junkyard Symphony has two teams. The first team is lead by Junkyard Jonny. He is accompanied by a rotating cast of awesome assistants.
The duo show is the most common form of Junkyard Symphony, but there are trio shows and quartet shows too. The show you choose is up to you.
|
The second team is lead by Recycle Ross. Since Junkyard Symphony has two leaders, two shows can occur at the same time in different locations,
so if Jonny is busy, ask us if Ross is available.
