How does the forest make music? What is the rhythm of the seasons? In this musical puppet show, the artists of the Liszt Ferenc Chamber Orchestra and the Bábozd Zöldre Company playfully present an encounter between nature and classical music. Short scenes follow one another around the magical walnut tree as the mood of the four seasons is conjured up by the interplay of puppetry and live music: excerpts from well-known works by Beethoven, Vivaldi, Bartók, Mendelssohn and Grieg performed live. The instruments introduce themselves, rhythms become real enough to touch, and even the youngest children are encouraged to join in the play. This rich yet light-hearted concert experience imperceptibly develops listening skills, concentration and cooperation. On the way home, it will be easy to listen and hear the patter of rain, the rustle of leaves, the song of birds – music everywhere.
