Enjoy the wonders of Will Pickvance, a piano playing storyteller, bringing Mozart to life for little music lovers.

William’s school report is not good. But his tricks on the piano are so impressive, his teachers have picked him to play at the prestigious concert for Mozart’s birthday celebrations in the city of Salzburg. Trouble is, he only does tricks…

Mozart, via the blues, tango and rock’n’roll (and a roll of gaffer tape). A chase through Salzburg. A moonlit haunted house. Enter Mozart, to swap genius wisdom for a glimpse of the future.

Dubbed the ‘Edinburgh Fringe’s favourite pianist’ by List magazine, Will Pickvance has toured the world with his amazing shows of piano playing and storytelling. No matter how old you are – come and be enchanted!
