Schërzo

EVENT DESCRIPTION

A clown-esque concerto for the ages, in which classical repertoire glissandos into a bacchanal of comical mishaps and absurdity. Neither foppy-wigged composers nor their magnum opus is safe from this buffoonery. Behold as a marble bust of Beethoven comes alive and challenges his fellow sculptures to a yodeling battle-royale! Gasp in amazement as the ghost of George Gershwin accompanies a flotilla of rolling instruments – an entire symphony orchestra played by only five musicians and led by an inflatable conductor! It’s Chaplin meets Tchaikovsky, Buster versus Bernstein, and Groucho Marx does Mozart, all rolled up into one raucous oeuvre. Schërzo is sure to be an absolute triumph!

Limited dialogue.

Suitable for ages 6 and above.

The running time is approximately 80 minutes without intermission.

Meet-the-artist session after each performance (In English with Cantonese interpretation)
