Cirque de la Symphonie most recently appeared with the North Carolina Symphony in Meymandi Concert Hall on Thanksgiving weekend in 2024 and has also performed with the Symphony as part of UNC Health Summerfest.

Founded in 2005, Cirque de la Symphonie is the only cirque company in the world that works exclusively with symphony orchestras. Aerial flyers, acrobats, contortionists, dancers, jugglers, balancers, and strongmen perform to music selected to be both entertaining for the audience and challenging for the orchestra. Cirque de la Symphonie programs have included world-record holders, gold-medal winners, and Olympians.
