A magical concert

Martina Bisbe Valdés

At the end of 2021, the author brought this work to life, which she dedicated to the world of music. This is also due to her admiration for the concert hall of Barcelona's Palau de la Música, whose central content embodies the magic and fantasy our soul yearns for, a factor so important and necessary for both children and adults today. 
This story will awaken children's senses, as they dream of magical tales that thrill them, while the adult will experience how the door to the child, who is hiding inside, opens. 
Let us grasp the fantasy this story offers us, and let it awaken our being to such a simple, straightforward, and wonderful event. We cannot seek beauty outside if we are unable to see it within ourselves. An educational music book. 
Between 2024 and 2025, the writer donated all her books to the Casa del Tibet Foundation of Barcelona, to contribute to the education of Tibetan orphans who have fled Tibet. This is due to the fact that Chinese authorities are erasing their Tibetan language and traditions in schools, requiring children to learn only Mandarin. Please support the cause by purchasing a book.
