Presto!
presents “The Case of the Vanishing
Viola”, a program of music and magic, tailored to
grades K-6. In this story, two musicians hire a detective to help
find
their viola, which has vanished. Unbeknownst to them, the
detective is really a magician in disguise, and it is he who is
responsible for the viola’s disappearance. The
program features the music of Mozart, Beethoven and others, with
feats
of magical fun throughout. As the story unfolds, students
learn about the different instruments of the string family,
elements of
music making and note reading, the importance of hard work in achieving
one’s goals, and the value of cooperation.

Presto! and the "Mixed up Music": Someone has played a
magical joke on the musicians of Presto!, a string trio, and now their
music is all messed up! If they want to fix the music in time for
their
concert, the trio will have to solve a series of musical riddles. Using
their signature blend of great music, magic, and fun, plus
some help
from the audience, the performers unlock the secrets of the riddles
while teaching the musical concepts of melody, harmony, rhythm,
tempo,
and dynamics. Best for grades K-6.
“The students loved it. It was a big hit with an engaging narrative. The children learned the consequences of actions and learned lots about music.” Thomas Jefferson Elementary School Assistant Principal Mary Kay Howard  Presto! from their sold out performances at the Kennedy Center Family Theater Contact
