Music history is brought to life through the adventures of little Mozart and his sister Nannerl, time-traveling music detectives. Six beguiling stories blend history and fantasy, and connect classical music with folk music and world music.
-
Gasp as Beethoven's hair catches fire while conducting his 9th Symphony.
-
Watch in wonder as they visit the Sistine Chapel, where Mozart conspires to 'borrow' the manuscript of the world's most beautiful piece of music.
-
Gaze as Nannerl saves Bach from marrying the wrong girl.
-
Learn as they outwit their aunt in her medieval castle.
-
Duel with Scott Joplin in a battle of wits and piano improvisation, onstage in small-town America.
-
Be amazed as they visit India and witness the Goddess of Music being pig-napped.
​
Can Mozart and Nannerl crack the music code, unlock the cage and rescue her from the clutches of those greedy-pigs? With courage, and a helping hand from new friends, they might just succeed in changing the course of music, forever!
