Birds, Beasts & Blockbusters with Duo Pleyel (5+)

M4A (music4all)

M4A (music4all) is a new musical ensemble that performs classical music in a fresh, no-nonsense way. M4A is all about presenting classical music to all age groups in an intelligent, engaging and interactive way. From medieval to contemporary, M4A brings a wide range of classical repertoire to life with authentic instruments and performance styles that perfectly match each piece. Where classical music is often seen as dusty and boring by younger generations, M4A makes it exciting and relevant again for everyone, especially young people and families with children. M4A was founded by pianists Richard Egarr and Alexandra Nepomnyashchaya (aka Duo Pleyel).
