The Reina Sofía School of Music, as part of its ‘Clásicos Divertidos’ family concert series, presents Vivaldi’s The Four Clown Seasons, an in-house production celebrating the 300th anniversary of the Italian composer’s work, in an original and fun version recommended for children aged 4 to 9.
The clown Pendorcho wants to fulfil his dream: to be a musician and play in a professional orchestra! However, it will not be easy. Señor Julián, the orchestra’s strict and experienced manager, is determined to teach him that being a musician requires much more than simply wishing it. During his learning process, Pendorcho will experience comical situations and come to understand that he needs patience and discipline to achieve his goal. Pendorcho will have the invaluable help of the musicians of the Reina Sofía School of Music, who will show him the path to becoming a talented artist, while accompanying him so that he can play the masterful work of The Four Seasons.
