Our Soundtrap Series is devoted to primary school children of 8 to 12 years who are happy to undertake a discovery trip in the world of music. Still, of course, their parents, guardians or younger siblings will also have lots of fun at the series' concerts. The pianist, Izabella Simon, also acting as editor and host, builds each of two shows around a separate storyline.
