 > Marko Simsa: Keyboard Magic – Piano Hits for Children

For children aged 5 and up

This program is all about black and white keys: We'll present a piano concerto with music by W.A. Mozart and short exercises by J.S. Bach and R. Schumann. There will be rock 'n' roll, animal sounds, funny clowns, fast finger exercises, and, delightfully, even the Pink Panther will make an appearance!

Luckily, we also have the best excuses for everyone who hasn't practiced enough! We'll hear what Barbara learned on the piano as a child and what the grown-up Barbara plays at the piano concert. We also have lots of important information about the piano: How is it made, how many keys does it have, how much does it cost, and how heavy is it? And if you're also curious about the new animal piano song, musical riders, and fun piano experiments, then you'll find just the right concert here!

Barrel Organ Polka (D. Shostakovich),
The Merry Peasant (R. Schumann),
The Turkish March (WA Mozart)
, Mercy, Mercy (J. Zawinul),
