Alongside this story is that of his parents who were both musicians too – Jewish prisoners surviving by playing music in a concentration camp during the Second World War.

This unique performance of the story, narrated by Michael Morpurgo and directed by Simon Reade, is beautifully enhanced and embellished with extracts from music by Mozart, Beethoven, Bach and Vivaldi. Featuring Daniel Pioro on violin and string quartet The Storyteller’s Ensemble.
