kamara.hu/babar A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Jean de Brunhoff’s story of Babar the elephant, who following the death of his mother is taken in by an elderly lady living in the city, before finally Babar returns to the jungle taking with him all the benefits of urban civilization, has enjoyed continued popularity since first being published in 1931. In 1940, Francis Poulenc wrote several piano pieces based on the story for children of his cousins. He shaped these ideas into a cycle in 1945: the works represent some of the most charming chapters of the Poulenc oeuvre. The figure of Babar is evoked by artists of world renown under the artistic direction of Izabella Simon; together, they guide children into the magical world of music in this programme that forms part of the kamara.hu festival.
