Concert description

Bazylek uwielbia podróżować. Nikt prawie nie wie o tym, że smok ukryty w futerale przemierzył razem z Sinfonią Varsovią cały świat! Odwiedził wiele miast Europy, Azji, Ameryki Północnej i Południowej, przebył tysiące kilometrów drogą lądową i powietrzną. Tam, gdzie występowała orkiestra, był i on – warszawski smok, który tak pokochał muzykę, że postanowił zamieszkać w jej magazynie instrumentów. Szybko odkrył, że wyciągane z magazynu metalowe pudła i futerały o twardych ściankach zapowiadały wyjazd orkiestry na koncerty. Bazylek – pasażer na gapę – zabierał się razem z muzykami. Nadszedł wreszcie czas, by Bazylek pokazał słuchaczom swoje pamiątki z podróży: fotografie i muzyczne wspomnienia. Utwory związane z miastami, takimi jak Paryż, Londyn, Wiedeń, Budapeszt, Nowy York zagra Sinfonia Varsovia, conductor i jej muzycy pomogą smokowi opowiedzieć o przeżytych tam przygodach.
