Of all the things we were looking out for this weekend, enjoying the sounds of The Pixarmonic Orchestra was not something high on our radar. And yet, it became one of the big highlights when exploring Pixar Fest this weekend! The rag-tag group of high-energy virtuosos embark on a musical journey across the Pixar library playing lively upbeat versions of classic tunes.

Pixar films aren’t necessarily earmarked for their music but with this incredibly talented music troupe they could play playing the phone book and it would be entertaining. Their signature sound is accented with unconventional instruments including cowbells, kazoos, duck calls, sirens and slide whistles.

Honestly, if you’re at Disney California Adventure, you should sit a spell and lend your ear to The Pixarmonic Orchestra. You won’t be disappointed!
