Concert - Léna et l'Orchestre enchanté

Beautiful stories are often born in difficult times. Like the interminable storm that prevents the children of the town of Heurtebise from going to school or meeting their friends. Léna is the mischievous little girl who takes advantage of a lull in the storm to take her cat in her arms and set off to discover an abandoned theater at the end of the street. There she meets the instruments of the orchestra, imaginary characters in this story where the child is guided by the melodies and voice of actress Julie Gayet.

It was the period of confinement that inspired Carl Norac to write this story for young and old alike, watching the world from behind their windows. A wandering poet and dreamer, Norac is the author of over a hundred children's books, translated into fifty languages. Léna et l'Orchestre enchanté is Mathieu Lamboley's first venture into the world of musical storytelling.
