A magical journey with piano, ballet, and fairy tales
When a doll comes to life and music tells stories, an extraordinary family experience begins at the cultural center abraxas. In Piano & Ballet - The Enchanted World of the Children's Album, children from the age of four discover together with parents and grandparents the imaginative sound worlds of Peter Tchaikovsky's children's album.
Lotta and the Magic Doll
The story centers around a girl named Lotta, who receives a special doll just before Christmas. A miracle happens at night: the doll comes to life and embarks on a fantastic journey. Toy soldiers, the fairy tale character Baba Yaga, and dances from different countries make the story a varied exploration journey for young and old viewers.
Live music meets expressive dance
Pianist Kseniia Shor plays all 24 pieces from Peter Tchaikovsky's Children's Album live. A narrator's voice, classical ballet, and atmospheric video projections connect the individual scenes into a cohesive story. Children experience music not only with their ears but also with their eyes and their own imagination.
Child-friendly learning fun with feeling
The family concert opens an age-appropriate access to classical music. The short musical images tell of play, dreams, dolls, fairy tales, and distant lands. This learning experience strengthens curiosity, attentive listening, and the ability to perceive moods and movements. The interplay of piano, dance, and storytelling makes musical development accessible in a child-friendly way.
Artistic quality for the whole family
Kseniia Shor studies piano at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich, combining technical brilliance with musical expressiveness. Tatiana Gribov danced for more than ten years at the Bolshoi Theater and shapes the performance with elegant technique and poetic stage presence. Together, the artists create a sensual cultural experience for children from four years, parents, grandparents, and all who love music, dance, and fairy tales.
