The music

The Conductor’s Spellbook tells the magical story of Tony Stradivarius. During a field trip to the symphony, young Tony finds a powerful book of spells and uses it to control the orchestra. 

The Conductor’s Spellbook is an exciting and interactive concert experience that introduces audiences to music, orchestral instruments, and even conducting!
