    About

    William’s school report? Not so great. But when it comes to pulling off flashy piano tricks, he’s a total superstar! His teachers are so blown away, they’ve picked him to perform at the big Mozart birthday concert in Salzburg — how cool is that?! Just one problem. William’s all about the tricks… and not so much about the actual music. Uh-oh!

    An Edinburgh Fringe hit, Mozart, with a twist of blues, a splash of tango, and a dash of rock ‘n’ roll (plus a roll of gaffer tape, of course)! A wild chase through the streets of Salzburg, a spooky moonlit adventure in a haunted house, and… wait for it… Mozart himself! He’s here to share his genius wisdom in exchange for a peek into the future.

    “Wonderfully engaging storytelling, lovely piano playing and delightful animations” – The National 

    “About the power of music to transcend time, and about how real genius always welcomes the new” – Joyce McMillan in The Scotsman
