The Magic of Music
A different show that combines music and magic in a fun way to attract children and young people to classical music.

Produced by


		The Magic of Music was conceived as the union of a musical ensemble and a magician-illusionist who acts as a conductor. Throughout the show, the ensemble introduces several important composers. In turn, the magician offers brief explanations about the instruments, the works and the musical epochs presented. He does this in a light way, with some minor magic tricks, interacting with the musicians and the public. During the performance, a violin flies through the air, the cellist disappears, a bow strikes over the strings by itself, and so on.
While enjoying the magic, children and young people unwittingly learn and experience classical music in a fun way. The concert consists of ten works from relevant composers such as Vivaldi, Mozart, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Strauss and Melesio Morales, among others. As part of the interaction with the audience, a music contest is held. The winners will receive a CD of classical music related to the show.
