The Spotted Cow and The Pianoforte

Concordia premiered this Young Audiences production at Wilton’s Music Hall in October. It was a colourful and up-tempo reinterpretation of an Old Victorian tale, exploring the importantce of both art and commerce. Concordia strives to teach Young Audiences about real-world concepts without sacrificing humor and entertainment. The story tells of two young friends, who are each granted a wish for their future. Henry wishes for a piano, whilst Florence asks for a spotted cow.

Who made the wiser choice?

Florence finds financial success in her thriving dairy, while Henry delights audiences with his piano-playing. The children demonstrated their choice through the creation of a piece of art work that they brought with them as a ticket for the performance.

Which is the more important?

In truth, art and commerce need each other, and Henry and Florence realise that we need more than money to be happy. With toe-tapping tunes, lots of fun, and sing-a-long songs, The Spotted Cow and the Pianofortedelighted the children and teachers alike.
