Paul Dooley: Conductor’s spell book

How is a conductor able to lead dozens of musicians with just the flick and twist of their hands? What secret lies in that ‘magic wand’ they wave? How do all the instruments in the orchestra emit sound and work together? All of these questions and more will be answered in American actor and composer Paul Dooley’s Conductor’sSpellbook. This musical performance is a story-telling, fun, educational and interactive experience created especially for children. Kids will accompany the main character Tony on a journey through a strange book of magic. With secrets of music to discover and instrument-commanding spells to learn, it’s an exciting musical adventure that children surely don’t want to miss!
