    Just saw this piece live. It’s truly one of Mason’s best. He took the concept of Fantasia and improved it to its next logical step, wherein the composition informs the animation and vice versa. He created a nonverbal narrative arc that is good for beginning and advanced listeners. A real concerto for orchestra with stunningly animation.

    If I were CEO of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra I would not be happy about this….

    Terrific idea and investment in the future of the classical orchestra. Bravi to the orchestras that participated in commissioning this project.
    Hopefully, there will be a full length motion picture sequel!
