“Symphony Orchestra is the emotion of playing your first symphony together!”

An orchestra assembled in half a day

2h30 to 3 hours are enough to go from discovering instruments to playing the piece together.

Violins, percussion, and voices

Each sub-group works on its part in a dedicated room before the final assembly.

No musical practice required

The sheet music is adapted: the format requires no prior experience from participants.

Symphony orchestra team building, all musicians for a day

What awaits you.

From silence to symphony: your teams create a memorable moment. An experience that resonates long after the final note! This is one of our music and dance activities: 2h30 to 3h, for 10 to 200 participants.

Each participant receives an instrument, guided by a charismatic conductor. Very quickly, the first notes align, communication sharpens, and listening becomes essential. Little by little, the orchestra takes shape, the music rises, and team unity manifests in a vibrant collective achievement. Your employees will release pressure and experience unforgettable team success!

What you will experience together:

  • Discover the pleasure of playing a musical instrument, with no prior knowledge required
  • Harmonise your individual efforts to create a moving collective musical piece
  • Celebrate the power of cohesion and the brilliance of shared musical accomplishment

Price of a Symphony Orchestra team building

In Paris, the pricing indicates €3,690 excl. VAT for 30 participants (€123 per person), €5,090 excl. VAT for 100 (€51), and €7,290 excl. VAT for 200 (€36). The cost per person drops significantly as the orchestra grows.

For fewer than 21 participants, no price is listed, even though the page states a minimum of 10, and 200 is the limit of both the pricing grid and the page. Use the configurator, or compare with the Sing Studio.

Organising a Symphony Orchestra for a seminar

The format requires 2h30 to 3 hours: it therefore occupies a full half-day of a seminar, not a short break. It is scheduled when the objective is for the group to produce something, not just to relax.

It fits within a corporate seminar, a convention, or a management seminar, and concludes with a full group concert. Also see our corporate events.

Rooms, instruments, and orchestra schedule

The activity takes place indoors and requires a nearby power outlet and a stage for the musicians. Each sub-group works on its part in a dedicated room before joining the main group.

The schedule follows four stages: discovery of disciplines, learning the parts, pedagogical phase by section, then collective performance. A venue that does not allow this separation will be handled on a bespoke basis.

Number of participants and target profiles

The page states 10 to 200 participants, but the pricing grid only starts from 21. No prior musical practice is required: the parts are adapted for each section.

The format is suitable for groups ready to work for more than two hours on a common objective. For a short and dynamic version, consider African percussion.

HOW IT WORKS

The activity in 4 steps

1

Briefing and learning

Our facilitators welcome you for the Symphony Orchestra and introduce the challenge of forming a real orchestra. Your teams then discover their respective artistic discipline to get acquainted with their instrument.
2

Strategy and setup

The clock starts, and each sub-group learns its specific part in a dedicated room. Participants find their place in the overall harmony with no prior musical practice required.
3

Cohesion and collective rhythm

The learning phase begins, allowing each group to learn to play together. The vocal team works on its lyrics, the harmony team practices the violins, and the percussion section sets the rhythm.
4

Performance and celebration

The adventure culminates in a final performance where all groups come together to perform the song in unison. The facilitator leads this exceptional show, transforming your collective into an accomplished orchestra.
