An Unlikely Fairy Tale

A Multimedia Concert Performance for Schools, Families and Music Lovers of All Ages

Step into a world where music, imagination and visual art merge into an extraordinary concert experience. An Unlikely Fairy Tale is far more than a classical concert – it is a narrated performance that brings together live music, storytelling, theatrical elements and projected artwork.

In this approximately 50-minute production, the Karlicek Duo leads audiences on a magical journey through an original fairy tale. Virtuosic classical masterpieces, performed in their original versions or in carefully crafted arrangements for cello and piano, become an integral part of the story, transforming the music into a living narrative.

Created for students from Grades 1 to 9, families and anyone eager to experience classical music in a new and engaging way, the programme offers an inspiring introduction to the expressive power and diversity of the classical repertoire.

Throughout the performance, several artistic disciplines come together:

  • Narration and subtle theatrical performance bring the story vividly to life.
  • Live classical music conveys emotion, suspense, humour and imagination.
  • Projected paintings and artworks, ranging from classical to contemporary and created by professional artists, enrich the performance with a captivating visual dimension.

The seamless combination of music, storytelling, theatre and visual art creates an immersive atmosphere that sparks the imagination and draws audiences directly into the fairy tale.

An Unlikely Fairy Tale transcends the traditional concert format, building a bridge between music and theatre, imagination and visual art, and captivating audiences of every generation.

A fairy tale that is not only heard, but also seen, felt and experienced.
