Dynamic concerto meets animated film! Follow a magical Sprite as it embarks on a musical journey through the inner workings of an orchestra—all set to live music from members of the NSO.
Through a mesmerizing hybrid of animated and live action filming, follow a magical Sprite as it embarks on a musical journey through the inner workings of an orchestra. Violin strings vibrate, brass valves slice air, and drum heads resonate like you’ve never seen before—all set to live music from members of the NSO. By the film’s end, the orchestra comes together in a spectacular finale!
Written by former Kennedy Center Composer-in-Residence Mason Bates. Co-created with Academy Award®–nominated director/writer Gary Rydstrom and Academy Award®–nominated animator Jim Capobianco.
