A circus performer (Edward), an actress (narrator) and a string quartet participate during this show. This is the story of Edward, a mature circus performer who has the worries and weariness of an adult, but who revives childhood moments through the games and treasures he finds among old belongings. Those memories, dreams and emotions will bring back the sparkle and shine of that time with a real magic wand: the music.

When Edward Elgar (1857-1934) was twelve years old, he wrote some songs to accompany a play he was going to perform with the rest of the children in his family. He wrote down those songs in a sketchbook and recovered those sketches forty years later to create his two orchestral suites. That's why he numbered them as opus 1 a/b, a memory of those first songs that outlived time.

Apart from the family concert, on 17, 18 and 19 November there are three sessions for nursery school-children. To check all the information, click here.
