When young and old alike play at being the Sorcerer’s Apprentice! A fun and interactive concert with the musicians of the Kheops Ensemble. They invite parents to become apprentices and children to transform into sorcerers for a game hosted by Maureen Dor! Who will emerge victorious?
Paul Dukas’s music tells the story of a sorcerer’s apprentice who tries to enchant a broom and entrusts it with the chore of filling buckets with water. The spell seems to work, but the apprentice gradually realises he is not in control of his magic: the broom quickly becomes uncontrollable; a flood is inevitable!
