  • Mike Svoboda: “Once around the world“ for small orchestra, narrator and animated film
  • Mike Svoboda, conductor

This family concert for the eyes and ears takes us around the world and into another time. We follow in the footsteps of a mysterious explorer and adventurer who is said to have travelled from Hastings in England to Japan 100 years ago to explore and collect a wide variety of music. He reaches the most remote corners of the world and encounters the most entertaining music of all kinds – from accordion sounds to the humming of alphorns. Music from Europe, Africa, America and Asia comes together in a humorous and entertaining way.

Trombonist and composer Mike Svoboda tells this entertaining story with animated films, historical postcards and a small orchestra. An old gramophone plays an important role, playing historical shellac records whose music is picked up by the orchestra and brought to life.
