Young Maestro: Easter Family Concert - Bach, Vivaldi & Handel in Dubai

Explore timeless melodies where three composers reveal the beauty of spring.

Vivaldi, Bach and Handel on an Easter morning in Dubai. A family concert about the music of spring, told as a story children can follow from the first note.

Three composers were writing at the same moment in history, in three different countries. Vivaldi wrote music you can see: birds, a storm, a sleeping dog. Bach wrote the melody that four strings can hold like a single breath. Handel wrote for kings, and for fireworks. Together they made the sound of a season changing.

Children hear all three in one morning, with the story told between the pieces.

Duration: approximately 45 min, no interval.
