Hittin' the Right Note with Maurice Ravel: A Goblin's Guide
Maurice Ravel, the brain behind the iconic "Boléro," was more than just that famous tune. He had a soft spot for disguises, mechanical toys, and all sorts of kid's games, contra what people might think. In a whimsical twist, little Kiko the Goblin is about to dive into this eccentric composer's world in the 5th children's concert of the Lower Rhine Symphony Orchestra, happening June 15th, 11 am sharp, at Theater Mönchengladbach.
As Kiko delves deeper into the life of this quirky composer, some intriguing questions pop up. Was it really true that he flunked out of piano lessons at the conservatory because he was a lazy bum? And did he reside with his ma for decades before shifting in with his bro post-death?

The man's a legend in the classical scene, often mentioned in the same breath as Debussy and other luminaries.
