My Little Concert is a series of educational concerts narrated in French, allowing children to immerse themselves in a musical story, based on well-known works from the repertoire or on specific themes. The My Little Concert orchestra is made up of professional musicians from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. With a variable geometry, the orchestra tackles all repertoires in the form of themed concerts. Accomplished musicians as well as teachers, the members of the orchestra are keen to pass on their passion.

For this Little Concert,  we offer a musical version of The Princess and the Pea, Haens Christian ANDERSEN's famous 1835 fairy tale. The concert tells the story of a prince in search of a princess with the best qualities to marry him. One stormy evening, a woman comes to the castle to ask for hospitality.

20 mattresses with a pea hidden underneath. The moral of this tale is to be wary of appearances, and not to judge a person from the moment you first meet them.
