The orchestra awaits—spotlights up for the magical concert! Musicians of all ages and styles take their places: nervous newcomers, bold veterans, and lovable oddballs beaming with musical spirit. What harmony will they create together?
Following the success of La gara di canto (The Singing Competition), this delightful board book for little ones (ages 2–5), Il Concerto (The Concert) sparks joy through music, teamwork, and quirky fun. Vibrant, flat illustrations show big-headed players in action, matched with rhythmic rhymes like: “Apre il concerto Giampiero Perfetto / con un fischio squillante del suo clarinetto.” (Giampiero Perfetto opens the concert with a shrill whistle from his clarinet.) With piano, tuba, violino, harp, and beyond, the ensemble builds to a thrilling climax: François De Plìn…

Ora una nota profonda alla tuba… / Dai, dacci dentro, Ruggero Carruba!
In a flash appears Ida Divino / playing aching scales on her violin.
Now a deep note from the tuba… / Come on, give it your all, Ruggero Carruba!
Adesso è la volta di Otto Von Dorno: che suono lungo emette il suo corno!
Here she is on stage, Amber Borbotto, puffing little bursts on her bassoon.
Now it’s the turn of Otto Von Dorno: what a long note his horn lets out!
… e dà il suo apporto anche Lola Zapatas, scuotendo con ritmo le grandi maracas.
Even Amanda di Crasso joins in, plucking the double bass with focus…
…and Lola Zapatas adds her part as well, shaking the big maracas in rhythm.
signore e signori, fate un inchin, sta per suonare… François De Plìn.
But to complete the symphony it takes a touch of great mastery:
ladies and gentlemen, take a bow, he is about to play… François De Plìn.
