Synopsis

As the Maestro prepares for the concert, we realize that they are not quite prepared and have lost their baton. They look to Clara for help, sending the two of them on a journey through Walter Wick’s imaginative worlds. They explore what the music is communicating, how it makes us feel, and how those feelings can be expressed through movement.

By the end of the journey, the missing baton has been found and their world has been transformed by Walter Wick. Maestro is now prepared by understanding the feelings within the music, what those feelings communicate, and how movement helps bring those feelings to life.
